Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams glass noodles (mung bean or sweet potato)
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, finely grated
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, julienned
- 3 stalks green onion, sliced
- 100 grams baby spinach
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
- 50 grams bean sprouts (optional)
Instructions
Soak the glass noodles in warm water for 10-15 minutes or until softened. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Add the julienned carrot, red bell pepper, and zucchini. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften but still maintain some crunch.
Toss in the green onion, spinach, and optional bean sprouts. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the softened glass noodles to the empty side.
Pour the soy sauce (or tamari) over the noodles and gently toss them to coat evenly.
Mix the vegetables and noodles together, ensuring everything is well-combined and heated through.
Transfer to serving plates and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Vegan Stir-Fried Glass Noodles!
