Ingredients
- 8 cups Fresh spinach
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Shake off excess water and set aside.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 5
Add the spinach to the skillet in batches if necessary, allowing it to wilt slightly before adding more. Toss gently to coat the spinach in the garlic oil.
Step 6
Drizzle the low-sodium soy sauce and rice vinegar over the spinach, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes (if using) and ground black pepper.
Step 7
Stir-fry the spinach for 2-3 minutes until it is wilted but still vibrant green.
Step 8
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish immediately to prevent overcooking.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish or over cooked rice or noodles for a complete meal.
