Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh spinach
- 3 tablespoons ketjap manis
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 piece red chili (optional)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold running water and drain well. Set aside.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. If using red chili, slice it thinly into small rings and remove seeds for a milder heat.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Step 4
Once hot, add the minced garlic and sliced chili to the pan. Stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 5
Add the spinach to the pan in batches, stirring constantly to wilt it evenly. This process should only take 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the ketjap manis. Add the salt and black pepper, stirring to coat the spinach evenly with the sauce.
Step 7
Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together while avoiding overcooking the spinach.
Step 8
Remove from heat and transfer the spinach to a serving dish.
Step 9
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top as a garnish and serve immediately. Enjoy as a side dish or pair with steamed rice for a complete meal.
