Ingredients
- ½ pound angel hair pasta
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 8 ounces mushrooms quartered
- 2 carrots cut into match sticks or buy store-bought
- 1 leek both green and white, cleaned and chopped or medium onion
- 5 ounces fresh baby spinach
- sriracha for serving (optional)
Sauce
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons fresh ginger grated (½-inch)
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook pasta per package instructions; drain well.
- In a small bowl, add the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and cornstarch; set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a wok over medium-high heat. (don’t worry, you do not have to have a wok. Use a large pan instead)
- Add the leeks (or onion) to the oil. Allow them to wilt and brown; about 3 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms, bell pepper and carrot. Cook, stirring frequently, about 3 to 5 minutes or until tender. Stir in the spinach until wilted, about 2 more minutes.
- Remove the veggies from the pan; set aside in a warm place, while finishing the noodles. Pour the sauce into the wok, allow it to come to a slight boil over medium-high heat. Stir in pasta into the sauce coat well, then add the veggies back into the wok. Toss gently with tongs to combine.
- Serve immediately and garnish with Sriracha sauce.
