2. In wok or large skillet, heat oil over medium high, add vegetables, black beans, and stir fry for 1 minute or so. Add tamari, garlic powder and other seasonings to taste. Cook for another 3 – 4 minutes stirring occasionally, use a lid if needed to help soften the vegetables a bit.
3. Add in quinoa to the veggie mixture, turn heat to high, cook another 3 – 5 minutes stirring constantly adding a drizzle of oil if the mixture seems too dry.
Serve warm. Top with a little sriracha or tamari if you like.

Directions:
*For the soup*
1. Bring ginger and 4.5 cups water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.

5. Drop noodles into very hot soup. Cover pan and let sit 3 minutes.
6. Divide noodles and soup among bowls. Top with mushrooms, radishes, herbs, kimchi, and sesame seeds; drizzle with sesame oil.

*用麵條和組裝*
4. 將有機毛豆剝殼。在中型煎鍋中以中高火加熱牛油果油。加入毛豆和蘑菇,煮約 5 分鐘。 離火, 將大蒜加在蘑菇和豆腐的混合物上, 攪拌均勻, 即可食用。
5. 將麵條放入熱湯中。蓋上鍋蓋, 靜置 3 分鐘。
6. 將麵條和高湯分裝在碗中。上面放上蘑菇, 蘿蔔, 香草, 發酵蔬菜和芝麻;淋上芝麻油。
