- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/2 pound beef, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, thinly sliced

- 4 ounces spinach

Instructions
- Boil the sweet potato noodles according to package instructions, then drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons sesame oil, 2 tablespoons sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of vegetable oil. Stir-fry the onion, carrot, and red bell pepper until they start to soften. Add the spinach and green onions, and continue to stir-fry until the vegetables are tender.
