¦ Ingredients: Two hundred and twenty-five grams lean beef, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon sesame salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 150 grams Chinese noodles (tangmyon), 1 cup cooked spinach, 2 large carrots cut into matchsticks, 10 medium green onions cut into 1’’ lengths, 5 wild leeks (puchu), 2 dry chopped onions, 3 pyogo mushrooms, 10 mogi mushrooms, 5 nutari mushrooms, 10 sogi mushrooms
¦ Instructions:
1. Cut the beef into fine strips and fry with the other ingredients (225 grams of lean beef, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon sesame salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 2 tablespoons sesame oil) until well cooked and tender.
2. Cook the noodles in plenty of boiling water until soft, and then rinse in cold water.
3. Fry the ingredients together (2 large carrots cut into matchsticks, 10 medium green onions cut into 1’’ lengths, 5 wild leeks (puchu), and 2 dry chopped onions) gently in a lightly greased pan for 10 minutes to soften, not brown.
4. Soak the pyogo, mogi and nutary mushrooms in warm water for 10 minutes, then cut into strips and fry in the same way as the vegetables.
5. Immerse the sogi mushrooms in boiling water for 2 minutes, then cut into strips.
6. Combine all the ingredients, including the spinach, and heat before serving. The dish may also be served cold.
This dish is sometimes made with a larger portion of noodles.
