Directions

1

In a non stick pan, add oil and saute vegetables.

2

All ingredients have to be cooked separately.

3

To use the same pan, start with light color vegetable.

4

An ideal order will be onion - green onions - carrot - shiitake mushrooms - beef.

5

The vegetables don't have to get any color, just need to be softened.

6

Saute and move to a big bowl to cool a little bit.

7

Put a non-stick wok or large pan on a medium heat.

8

Add dang myon seasoning, pour in dang myon.

9

Bring to a boil, stir occasionally for a few minutes until dang myon absorbs water.

10

In about 10-15 minutes they start to stick together.

11

From this point, stir constantly until the noodle gets soft and translucent.

12

Take off from the heat, let cool for a while.

13

If needed cut the length.

14

Mix with vegetables, sesame seeds, salt and pepper to taste.
