4 tbsp of soy sauce
1 tbsp of honey
1 tbsp of light brown sugar
1 tbsp of sesame oil
freshly ground black pepper
Spinach
4 oz of baby spinach, rinsed and drained
Spinach Marinade
1/2 tsp garlic, crushed
1 tsp sesame oil
Vegetables
3 spring onions, trimmed and sliced length ways into strips
1 red pepper, julienned
1 carrot, peeled and julienned
vegetable oil, 2-3 tbsp
Garnish
1 large egg, separated into white and yolk
salt
1 tbsp of toasted sesame seeds
Sirloin Strips
Place the sirloin strips in a bowl with the soy sauce, mirin, crushed garlic, sesame oil and a grinding of fresh pepper. Stir and set aside to marinate while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Mushrooms
Place all of the mushroom and noodle marinade ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine. Put 2 tablespoons of the mixture in a separate bowl, add the shiitake and white mushroom slices, stir to combine and leave to one side.
Spinach
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and add the spinach. Blanch for 30 seconds, then remove the spinach with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl of iced water to cool it down as quickly as possible. Keep the saucepan of water simmering while you work with the spinach.
Squeeze the spinach with your hands to remove as much water as possible and place the spinach in a bowl with the crushed garlic and sesame oil. Stir to combine and set aside.
Noodles
Bring the water that the spinach was cooked in back to the boil and add the noodles. Cook for 1 minute, stir the noodles then cover and simmer for a further 7 minutes. They should be soft and chewy. Drain the noodles in a sieve and rinse under the cold tap to stop them cooking.
Place the drained noodles in a large bowl and cut into them randomly with a pair of kitchen scissors a few times to shorten them. Add the rest of the mushroom and noodle marinade to the noodles, stir to combine and leave to one side.
Egg Garnish
Next, prepare the egg garnish. Place a small frying pan over a low heat, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil and swirl it around the pan
Add a pinch of salt to the egg white, lightly whisk with a fork to combine and add to the pan, swirling to create a thin layer. Cook gently for one minute, flip over and cook for a further minute. Transfer to a plate, while you cook the egg yolk.
Repeat the same process with the egg yolk and transfer to a plate. Once cool, cut both the cooked egg white and egg yolk into thin strips. Set aside.
Vegetables
Place a wok or large frying pan over a medium-high heat and add a couple of teaspoons of vegetable oil.
Add the spring onions and stir-fry until they are translucent. Transfer to the bowl of noodles.
Add another couple of teaspoons of oil to the frying pan, along with the carrots, and stir-fry for a minute. Add the red pepper and stir-fry for another minute before transferring to the noodle bowl.
Add another couple of teaspoons of oil and stir-fry the mushrooms for a couple of minutes. Transfer to the noodle bowl.
Finally add another 2 teaspoons of oil to the pan and stir-fry the beef for a couple of minutes before adding to the noodle bowl.
To Serve
Stir all of the ingredients in the noodle bowl together. Split the noodle mixture between four bowls and serve topped with the egg strips and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
