Instructions
Begin by rinsing the shirataki noodles under cold water for about 2-3 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Once simmering, lower the heat to medium and add the shirataki noodles. Allow them to cook for about 5 minutes, infusing them with flavor.
Add the chopped green onions and the spinach to the pot. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir everything to make sure the ingredients are well combined.
Remove from heat and let it stand for a minute to allow flavors to meld.
Serve hot, dividing the noodles and beef among the bowls, ensuring an even distribution of broth and toppings for each serving.
