- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce (for the veggie mix)

Instructions
- Prepare all your vegetables. Wash and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and measure out all sauces and seasonings.
- In a deep skillet over medium-high heat, add sesame oil and minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
