Scale
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 pound fresh spinach, washed and drained
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oil: In a wok or large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat to prepare for stir-frying.
- Sauté garlic: Add the minced garlic and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant, releasing its aroma.
- Cook spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the pan and stir-fry until wilted, which should take about 2 minutes, ensuring the greens are tender but still vibrant.
- Scramble eggs: Push the spinach to one side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the open side. Lightly scramble the eggs until they are just set.
- Combine eggs and spinach: Mix the scrambled eggs with the wilted spinach evenly in the pan.
- Add seasonings: Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together thoroughly to coat all ingredients with the seasonings.
- Serve hot: Serve the spinach and egg stir-fry immediately, ideally with rice or noodles as a main dish or side.
Notes
- You can adjust the soy sauce quantity for less sodium or use a low-sodium alternative.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of ginger.
- This recipe is best served fresh and does not reheat well as eggs can become rubbery.
- Substitute spinach with other leafy greens like kale or chard if preferred.
