Sweet Potato Noodle sweet and spicy just how we like it at Fayah Peppa.

This classic Korean noodle dish combines translucent sweet potato noodles with lots of stir-fried vegetables and a sweet-savory sauce. To make it, sauté mushrooms, carrots, onion, garlic, and spinach, then throw in the cooked noodles with some soy sauce mixed with brown sugar. Once it’s all evenly heated, top with scallions and toasted sesame seeds and serve with a Korean barbecue meal, or take it to work for a light vegetarian lunch.
What to buy: Korean sweet potato noodles, also known as starch noodles or Korean vermicelli, are made from sweet potato starch and water. When cooked, these dried gray noodles turn clear. Do not confuse them with Korean “cold noodles,” which are made from buckwheat. Korean sweet potato noodles can be found in Asian or Korean markets.
Game plan: If fresh shiitake mushrooms are not available, substitute dried. Cover 1 ounce of dried whole shiitake mushrooms with hot tap water and let sit until softened, at least 4 hours or overnight. Trim off the tough stems and slice the caps thinly. They need more time to cook than fresh mushrooms, so cook with the onions and carrots and then proceed with the recipe.


INGREDIENTS

8 ounces dried Korean sweet potato noodles
4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 medium carrot, peeled and cut into 1-1/2-inch matchsticks
1/2 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1 tablespoon Fayah Peppa
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed
4 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems trimmed and thinly sliced
2 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 ounces baby spinach
1 medium scallion, thinly sliced (white and light green parts only)
1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
INSTRUCTIONS
Bring a large saucepan of heavily salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the noodles, stir to separate them, and boil until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water until cool. Using scissors, cut the noodles into 6- to 8-inch lengths. With the noodles still in the colander, drizzle with 2 teaspoons of the sesame oil and toss to coat; set aside.
Mix the soy sauce and sugar together in a small bowl until the sugar has dissolved; set aside.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the carrots, onion, measured salt, and measured pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion has softened, about 8 minutes. Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender, about 3 minutes.
Increase the heat to medium high. Add the spinach and, using tongs, toss to combine. Let cook until slightly wilted, about 1 minute. Add the reserved noodles and soy sauce mixture and toss until heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, add the remaining 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, and toss to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with the scallion and sesame seeds. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Don't confuse this with the flour or corn tortillas you use to make wraps. A Spanish tortilla is a potato-and-egg omelet found on numerous menus throughout Spain. Traditionally these are cooked in heaps of olive oil. Our version uses less oil, so it's lower in calories, and if you use precooked diced potatoes, it's faster too.

Ingredients:

3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil , divided
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 cup precooked diced red potatoes, (see Tip)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
6 large eggs
4 large egg whites
1/2 cup shredded Manchego, or Jack cheese
3 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

directions
1. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add potatoes, thyme and paprika and cook for 2 minutes more.
2. Lightly whisk eggs and egg whites in a large bowl. Gently stir the potato mixture into the eggs along with cheese, spinach, salt and pepper until combined. Wipe the pan clean; add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and heat over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture, cover and cook until the edges are set and the bottom is browned, 4 to 5 minutes (it will still be moist in the center).
3. To flip the tortilla, run a spatula gently around the edges to loosen them. Invert a large plate over the pan and turn out the tortilla onto it. Slide the tortilla back into the pan and continue cooking until completely set in the middle, 3 to 6 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
Tips:
Tip: Look for precooked diced potatoes in the refrigerated section of most supermarket produce departments.
MAKE AHEAD TIP: Store airtight in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.

Repeat with remaining eggs, allowing each egg an equal amount of space.

3. Prepare the Classic Cup Cafe Hollandaise Sauce. If you like, place the hollandaise sauce in a glass measuring cup and place the measuring cup in a pan of gently simmering water to keep warm until ready to serve.
4. Meanwhile, place English muffin halves, cut side up, on a baking sheet. Broil 3 to 4 inches from the heat about 2 minutes or until toasted. Remove from oven. Evenly spread pesto over muffin halves.
5. To serve, place spinach leaves on top of each pesto-topped muffin half. Top with a tomato slice and a well-drained poached egg. Top eggs with roasted sweet pepper strips. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the hollandaise sauce over each egg. Makes 4 (or 8) servings.
