How to make
Prepare all the vegetables by cleaning them well and cutting them in the following way: Cut the spring onions and garlic into rings and the garlic clove as well. Cut the leeks, carrots and celery into thin sticks (3-4 cm long).
Dice the peppers and grate or finely chop the ginger (it must be peeled beforehand). Strain the bamboo for the recipe from the water in the jar or tin. Cut the mushrooms into two or three crosswise, depending on their size and thickness.
Heat the oil in a Wok pan and first fry the carrot, peppers and celery in it. Once they have slightly softened, add the mushrooms, then the onion, ginger, leeks and garlic, and finally the marinated tender bamboo stalks. Cook until the vegetables are lightly browned, but still slightly crunchy (for this purpose, the heat should be high and they should not be cooked for long).
This is the time to put the noodles to boil in a pot. For this recipe, I used sweet potato noodles. They are transparent like rice noodles or glass noodles, but they have nothing in common in texture. For me, they were quite strange, with the texture of gummy candy. They are pleasant and different, try them. The cooking time indicated on the package was 7 minutes, I removed them a little earlier and added them to the vegetables and cooked them for 2-3 minutes together.
Before that, however, pour the soy sauce over the prepared vegetables, then the coconut milk and spices. Stir and reduce briefly, so that the sauce acquires a creamy texture.
Then transfer the noodles to the wok and stir. Pour some of the cooking water into the pan. Cook until the noodles are cooked to your desired consistency. Taste the noodles to see if they are cooked through and add more water if necessary, as the water is rich in starch and will reduce a bit to make the spaghetti sauce even creamier. Also add as much soy sauce as you like to taste and add the necessary amount of salt.
Serve the Sweet Potato Noodles with Leeks and Vegetables dish sprinkled with chopped fresh garlic. Serve it warm, since the sweet potato noodles tend to firm up and stick together when they cool.
