Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Add the spinach to the skillet and stir-fry for another 2 minutes until wilted.
Drizzle the sesame oil and soy sauce over the vegetables and sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper. Stir well to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sautéed bean sprouts and spinach to a serving dish.
Garnish with sesame seeds before serving. Serve warm as a side dish or over steamed rice for a light meal.
