THAI STIR-FRIED SPINACH WITH GARLIC AND PEANUTS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a cup, stir together stock,​ oyster sauce, fish sauce, sherry, and brown sugar. Set aside. Rinse spinach and drain.
• Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and swirl around, then add garlic and chili (if using). Stir-fry 1 minute to release the fragrance.
• Add the red pepper (if using) and stir-fry 1 minute. Add the spinach and stir-fry briefly, until the spinach leaves are lightly covered in the oil and garlic/chile (about 30 seconds). Add the stir-fry sauce and stir-fry until spinach has cooked down to a nice dark green (stems should still be on the crisp side), about 2 to 4 minutes.
• Remove from heat and taste-test, adding more fish sauce instead of salt. (If too salty or sweet, add a squeeze of lime or lemon juice. More chile can be added for increased spiciness.)

• Serve and enjoy.
