250 g Korean potato starch noodles Sauce: 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 ½ tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp sesameoil, 2 tbsp minced garlic, 2 tbsp roasted sesame seeds
1 small carrot
1 small onion
4-5 dried shiitake mushrooms

Instructions

Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix well until the sugar is dissolved.
Cut the carrot into match sticks. Thinly slice the onion. Cut the spring onion into similar lengths.
(Optional)Cut the beef into thin 2-inch long strips and mix with 1 tablespoon of the sauce.
Cut the stems off the mushrooms, and slice into 1/4-inch thin strips. Season with 1tablespoon of the sauce.
Blanch the spinach in boiling water only until wilted. Drain quickly and shock in cold water. Squeeze out excess water, cut into about 2-inch lengths, and lightly season with salt and pepper.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to the package directions (usually 6 – 7 minutes). Rinse in cold water and drain. Cut the noodles with kitchen shears or a knife into 6 -7 inch lengths. Mix in 2tablespoons of the prepared sauce in a large bowl.
In a large non-stick saucepan, stir fry the noodles over medium heat, stirring frequently, until translucent and a bit sticky (about 4minutes). Transfer back to the bowl.
Add 1/2tablespoon of oil to the pan, and stir fry the onion until translucent over medium high heat, lightly sprinkling with salt and pepper. When the onion is almost done, stir-in the scallion and cook briefly. Transfer to the bowl with the noodles. Stir fry the carrot for 1 to 2 minutes until softened. (Do not overcook. The vegetables should be crisp.) Transfer to the bowl.
Stir mushrooms together for 2 – 3 minutes. Transfer to the bowl.
Add the spinach and the remaining sauce to the bowl with all other prepared ingredients
Toss well by hand or a tong. Adjust the seasoning to taste by adding a little more (start with 1/2 teaspoon) soy sauce and/or sugar as necessary.
Gentle sprinkle of sesame seeds in the top and enjoy!

Easy to follow recipe card... results are lovely.

So glad to have come across Gourmet Korea, especially during lockdown when home cooking was necessary almost every day and a change in the routine was so welcomed. Shipping was fast and the items were very well packed and clearly labeled. The home KBBQ meal kits are convenient and easy - everything is included (except the rice) so you don't even need to get your own ssamjang. The meats come fully marinaded, you just need to spend 10 mins cooking it up in a pan if you haven't got a Korean-style grill. Portion size is generous enough to leave two adults with decent appetites feeling fully satisfied. Taste-wise it's authentic & delicious and not "fusion" nor altered/watered down for foreign tongues (speaking as someone who's previously lived in Seoul for 9 years and has eaten plenty of all the delicious Korean things). We tried all 5 flavours of the bbq kits available and our favourites were the LA galbi and the jeyook bokkeum (spicy pork, not that spicy though!). We've since reordered a large enough quantity to keep some in the freezer for days when we want a little taste of Korea again and will definitely reorder when our stash is gone!

I bought some Kim Chee and other food for my parent's birthday. I called the company beforehand with a couple of delivery questions. They were very helpful. I'd definitely buy from them again.

Food was amazing! There was a slight hiccup with my order but it was quickly rectified and the team gave us some additional stuff to compensate which was not necessary but very much appreciated.

The food box arrived on time and on the confirmed date. I ordered two of the meal kits which were as described and packed in a temperature controlled box. They meal kits came with a recipe card with clear cooking instructions. Also, I bought some other non perishable products that were well packed and with good use by dates.
