Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh spinach
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain and set aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large non-stick frying pan or wok, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 1 minute, or until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the spinach in batches, stirring continuously to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Once all the spinach is added and has started to wilt, pour in the low-sodium soy sauce and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
Season the spinach with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste if necessary.
Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is tender and bright green.
Remove from heat and serve immediately as a side dish or over a bed of rice for a light meal.
