Step by step

  1. 1 Soak the noodles for 1 hour before starting to cook.
  2. 2 For the sauce, mix the chopped garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, honey and a little salt in a bowl.
  3. 3 Cut the peppers, onion, spring onions and mushrooms into strips.
  4. 4 Cook the noodles in a pot of boiling water for 6 minutes. Drain them, add a little sesame oil to prevent them from sticking, and set them aside.
  5. 5 In a frying pan with oil, first sauté the peppers and onion. When they soften, add the chives and mushrooms and mix well. Finally, when the chives are cooked, add the spinach, noodles and sauce. Allow everything to blend together and absorb the sauce.
