1 onion (Thinly sliced)
3 carrots (Peeled and cut into thin matchsticks)
1 bell pepper (Thinly sliced; the author noted not having it on hand)
1 package cremini mushrooms (Stems removed and thinly sliced; package size not specified)
3 green onions (Chopped; for topping)

Steps

1
Combine the marinade ingredients. Add the thinly sliced beef, toss to coat, and marinate for about 15 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
2
Cook the sweet potato noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with water, and leave them draining until ready to use.
3
Heat 2 tablespoons of the neutral oil in a pan. Cook the sliced onion and mushrooms together until softened, about 5 minutes; the source describes heating over high heat and cooking over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper.
4
Transfer the softened onion and mushrooms to a large bowl.
5
Add the carrots and sliced bell pepper to the pan. Add the remaining oil as needed and cook for a couple of minutes, until softened. Season with salt, pepper, and sesame oil.
6
Add the baby spinach to the pan and cook until wilted. Transfer the vegetables to the bowl with the onions and mushrooms.
7
Cook the marinated beef in the pan until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked beef to the bowl with the vegetables.
8
Pour the sauce ingredients into the pan over medium heat and cook for about 1 minute.
9
Add the drained noodles to the pan and toss well to coat them in the sauce.
10
Reduce the heat to low. Add all of the cooked vegetables and beef, then toss well to combine.
11
Season with sesame seeds, additional sesame oil, and pepper as needed. Top with the chopped green onions and serve.
