Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon chili oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 1 small shallot thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds plus a little more to sprinkle over the top of the finished dish
  • 1 9 ounce package baby spinach leaves

Instructions

  • Heat chili oil and sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and shallot. Cook 2 minutes or until garlic and shallots soften. Add 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, cook 30 seconds.
  • Add spinach leaves and cook just until wilted, about 2 minutes. (Note: Keep an eye on it at this point, it cooks really fast and does not taste very good if over cooked.)
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve.

Enjoy!
