A fast, high-protein vegetarian stir-fry inspired by Korean Japchae. Uses sweet potato noodles or julienned carrots as a base with savory mushrooms and eggs.

Ingredients

Scale:
Units:
  • 150g sweet potato noodles (or 2 large carrots julienned)
  • 250g mushrooms (sliced)
  • 2 large handfuls spinach
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • Oil for cooking
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sugar or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. **Noodles:** If using sweet potato noodles, boil for 6–7 mins, rinse, and set aside.

  2. **Sauté:** In a large pan or wok, fry the mushrooms in a bit of oil until browned. Add the garlic and ginger for the last minute.

  3. **Wilt:** Add the spinach to the pan and toss until it wilts. Push everything to the side of the pan.

  4. **Scramble:** Crack the 3 eggs into the empty side of the pan. Scramble them until just set, then mix into the vegetables.

  5. **Toss:** Add the noodles (or carrot ribbons) and the sauce. Toss everything on high heat for 1–2 minutes until glossy and well combined.
