Makes 6 servings.
Ingredients:
½ Lb. finely ground beef or pork
½ Lb. cellophane noodles
½ bunch spinach (about 1½ cup when cooked)
10 mushrooms, fresh or dried
½ -1 onion chopped
1-2 carrots, shredded or finely slivered
1 Tbsp. sesame seed
2 Tbsp. sesame oil
¼ C. soy sauce
2-4 Tbsp. sugar
½ tsp. MSG
2 cloves garlic, crushed & finely chopped
Salt & pepper to taste
Cooking oil
Directions:
Meat: Fry in small amount of cooking oil until done and set aside.
Noodles: Cook in boiling water, soft but firm. Rinse in cold water when done. Cut to 3-4 inches.
Spinach: Boil, drain, rinse in cold water, drain again. Cut into bite size pieces and set aside.
Mushrooms: Wash well and soak in warm water for 15 minutes. (If fresh, don’t soak.) Chop into small pieces.
Over medium heat in wok or frying pan, heat some cooking oil and stir-fry mushrooms, onion and carrots until barely tender. Add meat, noodles, spinach and more oil if needed to prevent sticking. Stir and cook, adding sesame seeds, sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, MSG, garlic, pepper and salt. Taste as you cook and mix in seasonings, adjusting them to taste. Heat just long enough to heat ingredients and blend flavors.
