Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g sweet potato glass noodles
  • Salt (for boiling water)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (use tamari for a gluten-free option)
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1–2 tsp sriracha or chili paste (optional, for a little heat)
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1 bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • Extra sesame seeds (optional)
  • Lime wedges (optional, for a zingy finish)

Instructions

  1. Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add the sweet potato glass noodles and cook for about 6-8 minutes until tender but still chewy. Drain them and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
  2. While the noodles are cooking, prepare the sesame-ginger sauce. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, toasted sesame seeds, and sriracha (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning to your preference.
  3. Prep the vegetables: julienne the carrots, slice the bell pepper and mushrooms, chop the green onions, and rinse the spinach.
  4. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of sesame oil and sauté the carrots, bell pepper, and mushrooms for about 3-4 minutes, until slightly softened but still vibrant.
  5. Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted. Stir occasionally.
  6. Reduce heat to medium and add the cooked sweet potato noodles to the skillet with the veggies. Pour in the sesame-ginger sauce and toss everything together until the noodles are coated evenly.
  7. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, to allow the flavors to meld together. The noodles should look glossy and smell amazing.
  8. Transfer to serving bowls and top with chopped cilantro, extra sesame seeds, and a squeeze of lime if desired.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavor and texture in every bite!
