In a small sauté pan over medium-low heat, add sesame seeds. Stir the seeds constantly in the pan until golden brown and roasted.
Step 1
Crumble the sesame seeds on a cutting board with a hefty knife. Mix crushed sesame seeds, garlic, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, and sugar in a bowl.
Step 2
Reserve the mixture. Place olive oil in a pot on medium heat.
Step 3
Cook mushrooms for 5–7 minutes until golden brown, then add spinach. Cover the mushrooms and spinach with sauce and cook for 5 minutes before serving.
