Ingredients

6 cups water
2 oz dry glass noodles
8 oz Chinese spinach well rinsed and cut to 4-inch long pieces

Dressing

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon sesame oil
¾ teaspoon salt
optional ½ teaspoon coconut sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce gluten-free if desired, use Coconut Aminos for soy-free version
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
½ tablespoon chili oil
¼ teaspoon wasabi oil

 

Direction:

Step 1:    In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add glass noodles. Reduce heat to a medium and boil the noodles for approximately 2 minutes. Add chopped spinach  into the saucepan and cook with the glass noodles for 1 additional minute or until the noodles are soft and cooked. Drain and rinse spinach and glass noodles with cold water. Transfer the spinach and noodles into a salad spinner. Spin to remove excess water.

    

Step 2:    In a small mixing bowl, combine all dressing ingredients and mix well.  In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the spinach  and glass noodles with dressing. Serve immediately.
