3. 3

   Warm the black beans in a pan with a splash of water and the seasoning, lightly crushing a few to thicken.

   Season with five-spice, then toss in hoisin and garlic over high heat for the last minute until sticky.

   Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the spinach and edamame for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.
