1

Place sesame oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger and chilli. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.

5

Place mushrooms in the wok and cook for 2 minutes before turning and cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Repeat this process until the mushrooms are cooked through, spooning a small amount of the broth over the mushrooms each time you turn them.

6

Remove the mushrooms from the wok and slice into 2cm strips.

To assemble the soup, place noodles in each bowl. Add broccolini and spinach. Top with broth and sliced mushrooms. Finish with sesame seeds.
