- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly.
Step 3
Heat a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat and add vegetable oil. Swirl to coat the pan evenly.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Add the spinach to the pan in batches, stirring each batch until wilted before adding the next.
Step 6
Once all the spinach is added and wilted, pour in the soy sauce and stir well to combine and coat the spinach.
Step 7
Season with salt and black pepper, and stir again to incorporate.
Step 8
Remove from the heat and serve immediately, ensuring the vibrant green color and tender texture of the spinach are preserved.
