It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

ingredients
4 dried shiitake mushrooms
1 package (8-10 ounce size) udon noodles (Japanese noodles)
3 cups chicken stock
2 chicken breast fillets, cut into thin slices
4 leaves napa cabbage (same as Chinese cabbage), cut in strips
1 cup bean sprouts
3 shallots, finely chopped
salt
black pepper
directions
Soak the mushrooms in hot water for 20 minutes to rehydrate. Drain, trim off stems and cut the caps into strips.
Bring a pan of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until soft. Drain well then rinse in cold water. Drain again.
Divide the noodles between individual serving dishes.
In a saucepan, combine the chicken stock, chicken, cabbage, and mushrooms. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Let cook for 3 minutes, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked. Stir in the bean sprouts and shallots. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve over the cooked udon noodles.

This was a really good and tasty recipe. Don't try to substitute other mushrooms for the dried (look for dried mushrooms in the Asian food section of your store). The dried mushrooms contain a lot of flavor that you'd be lacking if you substitute anything else.
