Method

1

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add noodles and cook according to package directions (usually 4–5 minutes). Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

2

Julienne the carrot into thin matchsticks. Blanch spinach in boiling water for 1 minute, drain, squeeze dry, and set aside. Slice mushrooms and onion. Cut green onion into 2-inch pieces.

3

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and minced garlic to make the sauce.

4

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced protein and cook until done, breaking into bite-size pieces; transfer to a plate.

5

In the same skillet, add carrot and mushroom; stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add red onion and cook 1 minute more. Return cooked protein to the pan.

6

Add the cooked noodles and blanched spinach to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss gently but thoroughly to coat, about 2 minutes.

7

Remove from heat. Fold in green onion pieces. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve warm or at room temperature.
