ASIAN SAUTEED FRESH SPINACH



Asian Sauteed Fresh Spinach image

My Thai mother used to saute potato leaves in this same manner and it was absolutely delicious. I have a harder time now finding this delicacy, but sometimes do see it at my local farmer's market. If you ever happen to see some, pick it up and substitute it for the spinach in this recipe. They are tasty and tender, with a balanced flavor, and are not bitter at all.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Quick & Easy Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
2 bunches fresh spinach, stems removed
Coarse salt
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, young spinach with vibrant green leaves for the best flavor and texture.
  • Rinse the spinach thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit before cooking.
  • To save time, use a salad spinner to dry the spinach after rinsing.
  • Heat the oil or butter in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat before adding the spinach.
  • Add the spinach in batches, stirring constantly, to prevent it from wilting too quickly.
  • Cook the spinach for just a few minutes, until it is wilted and tender, but still retains its bright green color.
  • Season the spinach with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings to taste.
  • Serve the spinach immediately as a side dish or as an addition to other dishes such as stir-fries, pasta dishes, or omelets.
