- 1 spring onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced

- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp monk fruit (or sweetener of preference)

Warm avocado oil and sesame oil in a pot over low-medium heat.
Add garlic and sauté for just 10 seconds (we’re not browning it, just releasing flavour!).

Drain the enoki mushrooms and gently separate them.
Place them in a serving bowl and drizzle the tamari sauce over the top.
Garnish with sesame seeds and any fresh herbs you like.
Enjoy immediately with your favourite greens and/or over cauliflower rice!
