INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large covered saucepan, bring 2 to 2-1/2 quarts of unsalted  water
to a boil over high heat.  Discard any straggly spinach leaves  and
white roots, then use scissors to cut stems and large leaves into
2-inch sections. Cut bulky stem clusters and any red root tips  intact.
In large bowl, plunge cut spinach into several changes of  cold water,
gently pumping up and down to remove grit.  Drain in  colander and
shake off excess water. Plunge spinach into boiling  water. After 1
minute, drain spinach in colander, flush with cold  running water until
chilled, then press lightly with palms of hands  to remove excess
water.  Fluff spinach gently to loosen mass. In  medium-size bowl,
cover bean threads with 3 to 4 cups of heated  water, without removing
binding of rubber bands or strings. If bean  threads are from Taiwan or
Thailand, use hot water; if they are from  the People's Republic of
China, use boiling water. When pliable,  after about 10 seconds use
scissors to cut through loop ends or  center of skein, thereby cutting
bean threads into manageable 4- to  5-inch lengths. Cut rubber bands or
strings and discard them, then  swish bean threads to disperse in
water. After another 10 to 15  seconds, when bean threads are firm -
like rubber bands to the touch  ~ rinse briefly with cool water and
drain again. skillet over high  heat until hot enough to evaporate a
bead of water on contact. Add  oil, swirl to coat pan, then reduce heat
to medium-high. When hot  enough to sizzle a bit of spinach on contact,
add spinach and toss  briskly another minute. Add noodles and, using
spatula, blend with  several quick stirs until heated through.  Add
sesame oil, toss  briskly to combine, then remove from heat. Arrange
several  rosy-tipped spinach stems on top, if desired, and serve at
once.  Source: Barbara Tropp, Great Meals in Minutes - ISBN:
