Instructions
1
Begin by soaking the dried shiitake mushrooms in cold water for about 20 minutes to rehydrate them. Once softened, drain and slice into thin strips.
2
In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook the cellophane noodles according to package instructions for about 10 minutes. Once cooked, drain and rinse them under cold water. Cut them into 4-5 inch lengths.
3
In a mixing bowl, combine the sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, 2 teaspoons of toasted sesame seeds, rice wine, minced garlic, and pepper, stirring until well blended.
4
Place the sliced sirloin beef in a different bowl, adding half of the marinade mixture. Mix well to ensure all beef slices are coated, then set aside to marinate.
5
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 teaspoon of canola oil over medium-high heat. Add the shredded cabbage, sliced onion, and shredded carrot. Stir-fry for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still vibrant.
6
Add the torn spinach to the pan and continue to sauté for an additional minute until wilted. Then, add the sliced mushrooms and cooked noodles, gently removing the skillet from heat. Mix thoroughly and transfer the vegetable-noodle mixture to a serving bowl, setting aside.
7
In the same skillet, heat the remaining canola oil over medium-high heat. Introduce the marinated sirloin beef and stir-fry until the meat is cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.
8
Once the beef is cooked, combine it with the vegetable-noodle mixture in the serving bowl. Drizzle the reserved marinade sauce over the top and toss everything together until evenly mixed.
9
Serve hot, garnished with the remaining toasted sesame seeds and additional chopped green onions if desired.
