instructions
    1

    Start by washing the spinach thoroughly to remove any dirt and debris. Drain well.

    2

    Peel and thinly slice the carrots into matchsticks.

    3

    Prepare garlic by mincing it finely.

    4

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

    5

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

    6

    Next, add the sliced carrots and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

    7

    Now, add the spinach to the skillet and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach has wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

    8

    Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, and toss everything together for another 2 minutes to coat the vegetables evenly.

    9

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional minute if desired.
