Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh spinach
- 3 tablespoons ketjap manis
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 piece red chili (optional)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold running water and drain well. Set aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. If using red chili, slice it thinly into small rings and remove seeds for a milder heat.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Once hot, add the minced garlic and sliced chili to the pan. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the spinach to the pan in batches, stirring constantly to wilt it evenly. This process should only take 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the ketjap manis. Add the salt and black pepper, stirring to coat the spinach evenly with the sauce.
Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together while avoiding overcooking the spinach.
Remove from heat and transfer the spinach to a serving dish.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top as a garnish and serve immediately. Enjoy as a side dish or pair with steamed rice for a complete meal.
