Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Fresh spinach leaves
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain well and set aside.
Mince the garlic cloves and prepare all other ingredients so they are within reach, as the cooking process is quick.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Once hot, add the sesame oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir-fry for 30 seconds, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet. Toss quickly to coat the spinach with the oil and garlic. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is just wilted but still bright green.
Drizzle the soy sauce over the spinach and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
Remove from heat and transfer the stir-fried spinach to a serving dish.
If desired, garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
