Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil glass noodles in salted water until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Brown beef, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~4 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Add garlic and mushrooms. Sauté until mushrooms soften and release liquid, about 3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in cooked noodles, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Toss to coat evenly, warming through, ~2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Add spinach and stir until wilted, about 1 minute. Taste and adjust soy sauce if needed.

  6. Step 6

    Divide between bowls and serve hot.
