🛒 Ingredients

• 1 cup Sun-Dried Oyster Mushrooms (rehydrated and sliced)
  Sun-dried to intensify their natural umami, then rehydrated to restore texture. Slice evenly for uniform cooking and flavor absorption.

• 2 cups fresh spinach
  Adds vibrant color and essential nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and K, along with iron and antioxidants. Use tender leaves for best results.

• 1 tbsp sesame oil
  Brings a rich, nutty aroma and depth of flavor. High-quality sesame oil delivers the best taste and finish.

• 2 garlic cloves, minced
  Provides a bold, aromatic base that complements the mushrooms and greens beautifully.

• 1 tbsp soy sauce
  Adds savory depth and balance. Use low-sodium soy sauce or tamari for a gluten-free option.

• 1 tsp sesame seeds
  Adds crunch, nuttiness, and visual appeal. Lightly toast for enhanced flavor.

🧑🍳 Instructions

1. Sauté the Aromatics
   Heat sesame oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, taking care not to burn.

2. Cook the Mushrooms
   Add the rehydrated, sliced oyster mushrooms. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly caramelized.

3. Add Spinach & Seasoning
   Add the fresh spinach and soy sauce. Stir gently and cook for a few minutes until the spinach wilts and blends evenly with the mushrooms.

4. Garnish & Serve
   Remove from heat and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve hot for best flavor.
