Ingredients
- 450 grams Fresh spinach leaves
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or grit. Shake off excess water but do not dry completely, as a little moisture helps in cooking.
Step 2
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the chopped garlic to the pan and stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Step 5
Increase the heat to high and add the spinach to the pan. Use tongs or a spatula to toss the spinach quickly and evenly, ensuring all leaves are coated in the garlic oil.
Step 6
Pour in the soy sauce, and continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, until the spinach is wilted but still bright green.
Step 7
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and give everything a final toss to combine evenly.
Step 9
Serve the stir-fried spinach immediately as a side dish or over rice for a light meal.
