Ingredients

• 300 grams fresh spinach
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 whole garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons red chili flakes
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

Wash the spinach thoroughly under cold water and let it drain. If the leaves are large, roughly chop them into smaller pieces.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the onion into half-moons.

Step 3

Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent and lightly golden.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 7

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Toss frequently with tongs or a spatula as the spinach begins to wilt.

Step 8

Season the stir fry with soy sauce, black pepper, and salt. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the spinach is evenly coated with the seasoning and has fully wilted.

Step 9

Remove from heat and transfer the stir fry to a serving dish.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish to complement rice, noodles, or grilled proteins, or enjoy it on its own as a light meal.
