Chef's Tips

Don't overcook the spinach, it should be wilted but still have some texture.

Add a protein source like tofu or tempeh for a more filling meal.

Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your desired level of spiciness.

For a richer flavor, add a splash of toasted sesame oil at the end.
