Preparation
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles, and cook until al dente, according to package instructions, about 8 minutes. Drain in a colander, toss with the sesame oil, and return to the pot. Keep warm.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a medium sauté pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the ginger, shallots, and mushrooms; cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to soften and turn golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Stir the chicken stock, vinegar, and soy sauce into the pan, and bring to a simmer. Cook until the mushrooms are very tender, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and scallions, and stir to combine.
Step 4
To serve, divide the noodles among 4 shallow bowls; ladle the soup over the noodles.
