Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Wash and dry the spinach leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt or excess moisture.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the washed spinach leaves to the skillet, and use tongs or a spatula to toss them gently, ensuring all leaves are coated in the oil and garlic.
Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Continue to stir-fry the spinach for about 2 to 3 minutes until the leaves are wilted but still bright green.
Remove from heat and transfer the stir-fried spinach to a serving bowl immediately.
Serve hot as a keto-friendly side dish, complementing any main protein dish.
