Instructions

  1. In a wok or large sauce pan, over medium high heat, sauté red onions, green peppers, with olive oil for 5 minutes

  2. Reduce to medium low and add garlic and ginger and sauté for 1 minute more (constantly stirring so that the garlic doesn’t burn); you can add a little more olive oil if you need to.

  4. Then add broth, agave nectar, rice wine vinegar and green onions and let simmer for 15 minutes.

  6. Add cooked noodles and spinach to the wok, stir well until combined and let simmer for about 2-3 more minutes until the spinach has wilted.
