Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to boil, and cook noodles for 5 minutes. Rinse with cold water and drain well. Cut noodles with scissors so they are easier to serve.
In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and water until well blended.
Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray, and pour egg mixture into a thin layer. Cook over low heat until eggs are cooked through, flipping once. Let cool and cut into strips.
Heat oil and cook garlic until fragrant. Add carrots, peppers, and mushrooms and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring often. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
Meanwhile, combine soy sauce, sugar, and sesame in a medium bowl. Pour the mixture into the skillet with the noodles and saute until the noodles are heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with egg strips, sesame seeds, and green onions and serve immediately.
Notes
*Shiitake mushroom is sold either fresh or dried. If using dried shiitake, soak in cold water for an hour, wash thoroughly and drain before using.
