STIR-FRIED SPINACH WITH GARLIC
"Spinach has often been regarded with disdain in the west, probably because it is usually overcooked. This is a delicious, time-honored, southern Chinese recipe. The spinach is quickly stir-fried and then seasoned. It is very simple to prepare." Ken Hom from CHINESE COOKING. (We halved this recipe last night and enjoyed it hot with Mr. Hom's FISH IN HOT AND SOUR SAUCE. Wonderful!)

Tips:
- Choose fresh spinach: Look for spinach that is deep green and has no signs of wilting or yellowing.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly: This will remove any dirt or grit from the leaves.
- Use a large skillet or wok: This will allow the spinach to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming overcrowded.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the garlic and prevent it from burning.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant: About 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Add the spinach and cook until wilted: About 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste: You can also add other seasonings, such as red pepper flakes or lemon juice, to taste.
