Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Carrots
- 6 cups Fresh spinach
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
Peel and slice the carrots into thin matchsticks (julienne-style).
Wash the spinach thoroughly and pat it dry using a kitchen towel or salad spinner.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until they start to soften but remain slightly crisp.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring continuously to wilt it evenly.
Drizzle soy sauce and sesame oil over the vegetables and toss to combine.
Season with salt and black pepper as needed, and stir-fry for another minute.
Remove the stir-fry from heat and transfer it to a serving dish.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish and serve immediately.
