Step 1

If using dry shiitake mushrooms, start by placing these into a bowl of water. These will need to soak for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2

Slice your beef and massage with sugar or fruit puree for 1 minute.

Step 3

Add in soy sauce, sesame oil and black pepper. Smash and chop garlic and also add to the meat. Mix well and set aside.

Step 4

Chop vegetables into thin slices and make them all the same size. After chopping, place them into separate piles.

Step 5

Add 4-5 cups of water into a large pot and bring to a boil. Blanch the spinach by adding to the boiling water. Turn off the heat, stir a couple times, then pour into a strainer and rinse the spinach immediately with cold water.

Step 6

Squeeze out the water, then place the spinach into a small bowl and add 1 tsp sesame oil, ½ tsp of salt.

Step 7

Your shitake mushrooms are probably nice and soft now. Chop into thin slices.

Step 8

Using a wok or a large pan, set the heat on high. When heated, add your preferred cooking oil and then the beef.

Step 9

When beef starts to brown, add in the onion, green onion and shiitake mushrooms. Cook until all of the liquid has evaporated/reabsorbed into the meat and mushrooms. Then set aside.

Step 10

Cook your red and yellow peppers for about 2-3 minutes with a pinch of salt. Then set into a large bowl, or the same pan as the beef.

Step 11

Saute carrots for 4-5 minutes with a pinch of salt. Place them in the bowl/pan.

Step 12

Now take your eggs and whip them in a small bowl like you’re going to make an omelette.

Step 13

Turn a frying pan on high heat. When heated, grease your pan and pour in your egg, spreading evenly across the pan.

Step 14

Start by pulling from the sides with your spatula to loosen the egg from the pan, and flip. When it is finished, slice your egg into thin strips.

Step 15

Cook noodles for 7 minutes in boiling water then drain and rinse with cold water.

Step 16

When the noodles are thoroughly drained, add in with everything else, trimming with kitchen scissors as you add it.

Step 17

Add 1/2 tsp of sesame oil, 2 tbsp of soy sauce,1 tsp of black pepper, and 1 tbsp of your preferred sweetener, and mix thoroughly with your hands.
