This orangey, sesame, peanuty goodness can be ready and on the table long before a take-out order would arrive. Why wait for take-out? Get chopping and get nomming.

Tip: To thaw frozen spinach quickly, put it in a mesh strainer and run under warm water. You can microwave it for 1-2 minutes to reduce the time under the colander, but be careful not to cook the spinach in the thawing process.

  • 1 tsp. vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
