Chinese Style Spinach Recipes

BEST SAUTéED CHINESE SPINACH

Steps:

• Wash and remove the stems from the spinach or kale, if necessary.
• Combine the broth, soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch and sesame oil in a small bowl. Taste and if needed add salt. I only add salt if I use low sodium broth and soy sauce. If either have salt I don't generally add any.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until it shimmers or when a drop of water flicked in it dances.
• Add the garlic and stir. If garlic starts to brown you need to reduce your heat.
• Quickly stir the soy mixture to make sure the cornstarch is totally dissolved. Add to the garlic in the skillet.
• Simmer for a few minutes until mixture thickens.
• Increase the heat, add the spinach and cook.
• Stir, with a wooden spoon, until starting to wilt and totally coated in soy mixture, about a minute.
• When serving, serve with a slotted spoon to reduce juices or serve juices on top of rice.
• Enjoy!
