Directions

- Prepare the vegetables by slicing the carrots and cucumber. Marinate the cucumber with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds. Mix well and set aside.
- Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Add some cooking oil and stir-fry the mushrooms with a pinch of salt for 1-2 minutes until just cooked. Remove from the wok and repeat with the carrots. Once the carrots are cooked, remove from the wok.
- In a clean wok with a little oil, add the baby spinach along with 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Stir-fry quickly until just tender. Remove and set aside.
- In a clean wok, add some cooking oil and the marinated beef. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes or until just cooked. Remove and set aside.
- Fry the eggs in the wok until they have crispy edges and runny yolks.
