Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh spinach
- 4 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Wash the spinach thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Drain well and set aside.
Peel and slice the garlic cloves thinly.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant and starts to turn golden brown.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet. It may seem like a lot, but it will wilt significantly.
Stir the spinach continuously for about 2-3 minutes until it is wilted and tender.
Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the spinach and sprinkle the salt and black pepper. Toss everything together to coat the spinach evenly.
Continue to cook for another minute to let the flavors meld together.
Remove from heat and transfer the spinach stir-fry to a serving dish.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top for a nutty finish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or light main course.
