How to make Korean Mixed Noodles

Make the mixed noodle sauce
Put a pan on the stove, wait for it to heat up, then add 2 teaspoons of cooking oil and 1/2 teaspoon of sautéed garlic. When the garlic is fragrant, add 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vinegar, 2 tablespoons of corn syrup, and 4 tablespoons of chili powder.
Stir well until the sauce mixture thickens, then turn off the heat and let it cool.

Marinate the beef
Beef is cut into thin slices, placed in a bowl and marinated with 1 teaspoon of garlic, 1 teaspoon of seasoning, 2 teaspoons of sugar, a pinch of ground pepper, 1 teaspoon of cooking oil, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, mixed well, and marinated for 15 minutes.
-
Stir-fry beef and stir-fry carrots
Place a pan on the stove, wait for the pan to heat up, then add 2 teaspoons of cooking oil, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant. After that, add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about 2 minutes, then turn off the heat.
Wash the carrots, peel them, and then cut them into strips. Continue to place the pan on the stove, wait for the pan to heat up, then add 2 teaspoons of cooking oil and the carrots to stir-fry, season with 1/8 teaspoon of salt, and stir-fry for about 2 minutes until the carrots are evenly cooked, then turn off the heat.
-
Fry the eggs
Crack 2 eggs into a bowl, whisk them until the yolks and whites are well combined. Next, place a pan on the stove, wait for it to heat up, then add 2 teaspoons of cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, slowly pour the egg mixture in and spread it out so that the eggs cook evenly on both sides.
Then, carefully lift the egg omelet onto a cutting board and cut it into small strips. Similarly, cut the fish cake into small strips as well.

Boil the vegetables and noodles
Soak 200g of dry noodles in cold water for 30 minutes to soften the noodles. If you want to save time, you can also soak them in hot water for 2 – 3 minutes.
Trim the spinach by removing the stems, wash them thoroughly, and cut them into pieces about 5cm long. Blanch the spinach and noodles in boiling water, then transfer them to ice-cold water. This will help the noodles maintain a nice chewy texture, while the spinach will keep its green color.
Next, place the vegetables in a bowl, season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of white sesame seeds, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil.
Layer the noodles, carrots, fish cake, beef, spinach, and eggs on top, and drizzle the sauce over everything. Mix everything well and enjoy!
