SWEET POTATO NOODLES (JAPCHAE)

Steps:

• Cook the sweet potato noodles in a large pot of boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes. Immediately drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Be sure not to overcook the noodles, or they will lose their chewy texture. If you like, cut the noodles with scissors into 6- to 7-inch lengths for easier eating.
• Blanch the spinach in boiling water. Rinse immediately under cold water, squeeze the water from the leaves and form into a ball, and then cut the ball in half. Combine the spinach, half the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of the sesame oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Set aside to let the flavors soak in.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, the remaining garlic, 1 teaspoon of the soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil. Stir-fry until the beef is cooked, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the onion, mushrooms, and carrot and cook until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the green onions and stir-fry for another minute. Remove from the heat.
• In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the noodles, beef mixture, spinach, remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and the sugar. Serve warm, sprinkled with sesame seeds.

SOUTHWESTERN SWEET POTATO NOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Cut the potatoes into long noodles using a spiralizer (or use 1 pound store-bought sweet potato noodles). Spread on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Broil until browned in spots and slightly softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red onion, bell pepper and serrano; cook, stirring, until just softened, about 3 minutes. Add the corn, garlic, cumin, chili powder, coriander, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 3 to 5 more minutes.
• Add the broiled sweet potato noodles and 1/4 cup water to the skillet with the vegetables. Cook, gently tossing, until the noodles are coated and tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro and lime juice; season with salt and pepper. Serve with lime wedges.

HOW TO MAKE SWEET POTATO NOODLES

Steps:

• Use your spiralizer to sprialize the sweet potatoes. I used a hand-held sprializer, which was slightly difficult to use for a sweet potato. If you don't own a spiralizer, you may use a julienne peeler to create sweet potato noodles. Hold the potato in one hand and slowly pull the julienne peeler down the potato with your other hand. Repeat this process until the entire sweet potato is "peeled". NOTE: using a julienne peeler is a tedious process but it can be done.
• Cook the sweet potato noodles. Place 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil in a 10 inch skillet (I used cast iron but you may use stainless steel) and heat over medium high heat. Add the spiralized sweet potatoes and toss with tongs to coat with the olive oil. Continue to toss with the tongs every few seconds to prevent the potatoes from burning or becoming stuck on the bottom of the skillet. Do this for 5-10 minutes. The cooking time will depend on your preferred texture of the noodles. If you love a little crunch, cook for 5 minutes. If you prefer soft noodles, cook for 10. Sample a noodle to find out if it's reached your preferred texture.
• Once the noodles are done cooking, remove from heat and serve directly from the skillet or in serving bowls with whichever sauces or topping you prefer.

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add spinach and cook, uncovered, until just bright green, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain.
