- I used shimeji mushrooms instead of a shiitake mushroom and added spinach in this photo.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and stir-fry the carrot and onion.
- Fry the mushrooms quickly.
- Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- I fried the vegetables separately, but you can fry them in one go.
- Fry the beef and save the marinade.
- I had only gizzards in my fridge, so I used them instead of the beef in this photo.
- When the meat is cooked halfway through, add the cellophane noodles.
- Separate the noodles with your chopsticks if they are stuck together.
- Add the marinade of the beef and continue to cook.
- Once the marinade has completely evaporated, return the vegetables and mix well.
- Check the taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper and sesame oil.
