Instructions

1. Soak the shiitake in hot water for 20 minutes or until soft. Squeeze out the water and slice them. Mix with the shiitake marinade ingredients and set aside.
2. Boil a large pot of water with plenty of salt. Blanch the spinach for about 10 seconds, then drain, let cool slightly, and gently squeeze out excess water. Mix with garlic, a pinch of salt, pepper and sesame oil.
3. Cook the sweet potato noodles in the same water following the package directions. Drain without rinsing.
4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tsp oil. Sauté the sliced onion with a pinch of salt for 4 to 5 minutes, then transfer to a mixing bowl. Do the same with the mushrooms.
5. Add 1 tsp oil and the yellow pepper with a pinch of salt; sauté 1 minute and transfer to the bowl. Add 1 tsp oil and the carrot with a pinch of salt; sauté 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer to the bowl.
6. Add 1 tsp oil and the marinated shiitake; sauté 2 to 5 minutes until cooked through and all moisture has evaporated. Transfer to the bowl.
7. Add the drained noodles to the bowl with the vegetables. Whisk the sauce ingredients and set aside.
8. Pour two-thirds of the sauce over the noodles and mix gently until absorbed. Add the remaining sauce and toss gently to combine. Top with sesame seeds and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
