Ingredients
  

  • Button mushrooms: 8 oz 225g
  • Baby spinach leaves: 4 cups 120g
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons 30ml
  • Garlic cloves: 3 minced
  • Ginger: 1-inch piece grated

  • Sesame oil: 1 tablespoon 15ml
  • Red pepper flakes: ½ teaspoon 2.5ml

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Toss in the button mushrooms and cook them for 3-4 minutes until they start to brown.
  4. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Give it a good stir to coat the mushrooms evenly.
  5. Sprinkle red pepper flakes, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper. Mix well to infuse the flavors.

  8. Your Vegan Mushroom and Spinach Stir-Fry is ready! Transfer it to serving plates.
  9. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for an extra pop of flavor and visual appeal.
