Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering all the ingredients required for this recipe. Wash the spinach thoroughly and chop the garlic, celery or bok choy, mushroom, and scallions.

2. Sauté Spinach and Garlic: In a wok or large frying pan, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant. Then, add the spinach and continue to sauté for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly until the spinach wilts and becomes tender.

3. Transfer Spinach Mixture: Once the spinach is cooked, transfer it to a platter and set it aside for later use.

4. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pan, add the white wine and let it heat up. Then, add the chopped celery or bok choy and mushrooms. Sauté the vegetables for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until they are slightly tender.

5. Add Rice and Scallions: Next, add the cooked brown rice to the pan along with the chopped scallions. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

6. Incorporate Spinach: Return the sautéed spinach mixture to the pan with the rice and vegetables. Mix everything together until well combined.

7. Season with Soy Sauce or Tamari: Drizzle the low sodium soy sauce and tamari over the rice and vegetable mixture. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasonings and coat all the ingredients with the savory flavors.

8. Heat Through: Allow the fried rice to heat through for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is hot and well combined. This will also allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.

9. Serve: Once the Spinach Fried Rice is heated through, remove it from the heat and transfer it to a serving dish. Garnish with additional chopped scallions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

10. Storage: Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Simply reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until warmed through before serving.
