Sauteed Mushrooms with Pork and White Pepper

Dinner in 15 minutes including prep? Yes, please. Even better, the flavors here work great with the earthy combination of mushrooms, garlic, and shallots. The fish sauce adds a nice bit of saltiness to the mix as well. Dinner was looking a bit monotone, so I wilted in some spinach at the last stage. It greatly improved the look of the dish and extra vegetables are always good, right?
