Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh spinach
- 4 units garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the surface.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 5
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring continuously to wilt the leaves evenly.
Step 6
Once all the spinach is wilted (about 2-3 minutes), add the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Stir to combine and coat the spinach evenly with the seasonings.
Step 7
Remove from heat and transfer the garlic spinach stir fry to a serving dish.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a side dish or alongside cooked rice or noodles for a complete meal.
