This is a quick and easy wok recipe that can be done in approximately 10 minutes. I opted here for orange bell peppers, as they match with the carrots, onion, and shiitakes. What can I say, I like my food to look also good...😄
The soft taste of the rice noodles, in combination with the warm touch of the ginger and the nutty flavor of the shiitakes, makes this recipe a perfect one to enjoy on a cold winter day, when you don't have enough time to prepare a soup or a stew.
Ingredients:
- Rice noodles
- Onion - or leek if you prefer
- Orange bell peppers - or any other color
- Carrot
- Shiitake
- Ginger - grated
- Spinach
- Olive oil
- Soya sauce
- Sesame seeds - black and white
Preparation:
First, put some water to boil and cook the noodles, with no salt, as we will add soya sauce at the end. When ready (around 2 minutes), remove them from the heat, rinse them under running water, and reserve.
In a wok (or skillet if you don't have one), heat some oil and incorporate onions and peppers cut in slices. When the onion starts being translucid, add the shiitake, also cut into slices. Sauté for a while until you see that they are nearly ready.
Add then ginger and carrot grated, stir for a couple of minutes more, and incorporate the spinach, sliced in big pieces.
Last step: add a nice splash of soya sauce and the noodles and stir until everything is well soaked with the sauce and it is distributed evenly.
Sprinkle some sesame seeds in the wok and it is ready to serve.
Tips:
As you can see above, I normally rinse the rice and glass noodles under running water, otherwise, they will remain way too sticky and similar to a block of noodles. I prefer them soft and loose.😊
If you are a spicy lover, you can add some pepper flakes or chilis at the same time as the ginger.
