Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound Taiwanese spinach
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing cooking wine

Instructions

  • Wash the spinach very well, and you might need to soak it in the water for 15 minutes based on how sandy it is. Then cut the leaves and stems to 2–3-inch length.
  • Heat the oil in the wok on medium-high heat. Once the oil is heated, stir in the garlic with a wooden spoon or spatula. Sauté the garlic until it is fragrant, about 20-30 seconds.
  • Add the spinach and stir fry for 3 minutes until the spinach begins to wilt.
  • Add salt, Shaoxing wine, and sesame oil and stir fry for another 1 minute.
  • Serve!

Notes

  1. It is very tender and easy to break, so toss it quickly with minimum cooking time. The key is not to overcook it!
  2. Soak it in water, rinse and repeat to clean out the sand.
