🍳 How to Make It

1. Prep the Vegetables

Prepare each topping separately to keep colors and textures clean.

Place the mushrooms right in the center — just like in your photo.

3. Garnish

Sprinkle a generous amount of sesame seeds on top.

4. Add the Sauce

Drizzle your sauce lightly over the vegetables or serve it on the side.
