8 oz (226 g) beef , cut into thin strips
8 oz (226 g) dry egg noodles

1 inch ginger , minced
1 cup (90 g) button mushroom , sliced
1 (70 g) medium-sized carrot , julienned
1 (150 g) small-sized red pepper , julienned
4 garlic cloves , minced
2 cup (60 g) spinach

Instructions

Noodles

Cook dry noodles according to the package, drain and set aside.

Sauce and Beef

Add all sauce ingredients into a bowl, mix well.
Add 1 tablespoon of sauce to the beef, coat each strip well, and set aside.

Cooking

Heat some oil in a wok on high heat. Cook the beef until they're almost cooked. Place it in a bowl together with its juice. Set aside.
Wipe the wok clean with some kitchen paper. Heat some oil on medium-high heat and add in the ginger. Once golden brown, add mushroom, carrot, red pepper, and garlic. Mix for 1-2 minutes until the veggies are slightly softened.
Add in cooked noodles, spinach, and sauce. Mix well using 2 spatulas for 1-2 minutes. Finally, add in the beef and its juice. Give everything a final mix and serve!

Notes

For fresh egg noodles, use 1 lb (450g). For fresh uncooked noodles, cook them according to the package. For fresh cooked noodles, rinse under hot water to loosen them up.
For swapping veggies, julienne sturdier veggies like cabbage or colored peppers. Cut broccoli or cauliflower into smaller pieces. This is so they cook faster.
Throw in leaf veggies like spinach and pak choy together with noodles, to avoid them getting soggy.
For swapping protein, cut chicken or pork into thin strips. Cut tofu into small cubes.
