Garlic spinach is a simple yet flavorful dish that brings together the earthy taste of spinach with the bold flavors of garlic, ginger, and hot chili peppers. Perfect as a side dish or a healthy addition to your main course, this recipe is quick and easy to prepare, using just a few ingredients for a delicious result.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by mincing the garlic cloves and the ginger root.
- Thinly slice the red hot chili peppers. If you prefer less heat, you can remove the seeds before slicing.
- Wash the spinach leaves thoroughly and let them dry.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and ginger. Sauté them for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until they become fragrant but not burnt.
- Add the sliced red hot chili peppers and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Gradually add the spinach to the skillet, stirring constantly. It may seem like a lot of spinach, but it will wilt down considerably.
- Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach is wilted and tender. This should take about 2-4 minutes.
- Once the spinach is fully wilted and mixed well with the garlic, ginger, and chili peppers, remove the skillet from heat.
- Season with a pinch of salt, if desired, to enhance the flavors.
- Serve immediately as a side dish to accompany your favorite main course.
Tips:
- Make sure to wash and dry the spinach thoroughly before cooking to remove any dirt or grit.
- For a milder flavor, you can remove the seeds from the chili peppers or use a less spicy variety.
- Peeling and grating the ginger root will enhance its flavor and ensure even cooking.
- Stir-fry on medium-high heat to prevent the garlic from burning and becoming bitter.
- Cook the spinach just until it wilts for a vibrant green color and optimal texture.
