Japchae Sauce
- 2 tbsp tamari
- 2 tsp honey

Instructions

- On medium to medium-high heat, saute the onions for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the onions become slightly translucent.
- Next, add the carrots and bell pepper. Saute them for about 2 to 3 minutes until the veggies have softened.
- Then, add the mushrooms and green onions. Saute for about 1 minute.
- Toss the sweet potato noodles back into the saute pan and the japchae sauce. Use a tong to ensure all of the ingredients are combined.
- Lastly, add the spinach (you can really add as much as you want!), and stir it into the noodles until it wilts. Salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
