Rinse the lentils thoroughly in a colander and cook with the bay leaf in about 1 liter (approximately 1 quart) of water 10-12 minutes until they are soft. Then strain through a sieve, rinse with cold water and drain.

3.

Peel garlic, squeeze through a press and saute briefly with the ginger in hot oil in a large frying pan. Add the carrots and scallions and cook 2-3 minutes while stirring, then set aside on a plate. Add the spinach to the same pan and cook until it wilts, stirring constantly.

4.

Toast the sesame seedsin a dry frying pan until golden brown.

5.

Add all the vegetables and lentils to the pan and mix well over high heat, stir in soy sauce and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve warm.
