Instructions:

1. Prepare Noodles:
– Cook the glass noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.

2. Prepare Beef Marinade:

4. Stir-Fry Vegetables:
– In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
– Add the sliced onions and stir-fry until they begin to soften.
– Add the carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, and shiitake mushrooms. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
– Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside.

5. Cook Beef:
– In the same skillet, add the marinated beef and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

6. Combine Ingredients:
– In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked glass noodles, stir-fried vegetables, cooked beef, and green onions.
– Add the remaining soy sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. Toss everything together until well mixed and the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.

7. Finish and Serve:
– Add the egg strips to the mixture and gently toss to combine.
– Garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
