📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cook the noodles: Cook the sweet potato noodles al dente, according to package directions, in a large stockpot of boiling water. (Be careful not to overcook the noodles, or they will become mushy in the stir-fry.) Transfer the noodles to a strainer, and rinse with cold water until chilled. Strain out any extra water, drizzle the noodles with a drizzle of sesame oil, toss until the noodles are evenly coated, and set aside.
2
Marinate the steak. Combine the steak, soy sauce, and a generous pinch and black pepper in a large bowl, and toss to combine. Let the steak marinate for ⏱️ 5 minutes (or up to ⏱️ 30 minutes).

3
Prep the sauce. Whisk all of the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl until combined.
4
Stir-fry the steak. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large sauté pan over high heat. Add the steak and sauté for ⏱️ 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through. Transfer steak to a separate clean plate, and set aside.
5
Stir-fry the veggies. Reduce heat to medium-high. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the onion. Sauté for ⏱️ 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add in the mushrooms, bell pepper, carrot and garlic cloves and sauté for 4-5 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies reach your desired level of softness. (I like mine to still be a touch crispy.) Stir in the spinach, and cook for 2 more minutes, using tongs to toss the veggie mixture frequently, until the spinach has wilted.
