Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh spinach leaves
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Wash the spinach thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or impurities. Drain the spinach in a colander and set aside to dry slightly.
Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly.
Heat a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Swirl to coat the pan evenly.
Add the sliced garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 30 seconds or until the garlic becomes fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.
Add the spinach to the pan in batches, stirring each batch until wilted before adding the next.
Once all the spinach is added and wilted, pour in the soy sauce and stir well to combine and coat the spinach.
Season with salt and black pepper, and stir again to incorporate.
Remove from the heat and serve immediately, ensuring the vibrant green color and tender texture of the spinach are preserved.
