For a vegetarian option, substitute the beef with mushrooms or tofu. Shiitake mushrooms, sliced and sauteed until golden brown, offer a delightful umami flavor that complements the other ingredients beautifully. Feel free to experiment with different vegetables. Spinach, bell peppers, and zucchini are all excellent additions. Adjust cooking times accordingly to ensure each vegetable retains its crisp-tender texture. Garnish with extra sesame seeds and a drizzle of sesame oil for added aroma and visual appeal. Serve immediately or chill for a refreshing cold noodle salad.
