Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash the spinach thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain well.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the sesame oil and allow it to warm up for about 30 seconds.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30–60 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring constantly as it wilts. This process should take about 2–3 minutes.
Once the spinach is fully wilted, reduce the heat to low. Stir in the soy sauce, salt, and ground black pepper, ensuring the spinach is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the spinach and toss gently to combine.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sautéed spinach to a serving dish. Serve immediately as a side dish or garnish for your meal.
