Stir-Fried Water Spinach with Garlic image

This quick cooking side dish is ready in 15 minutes but only five of those minutes are hands-on in the kitchen, making it a perfect addition to any weeknight menu. Look for water spinach (called rau muong or ong choy) in Asian markets. Regular spinach is a fine substitute, though it won't have the same silkiness. You can top it with your favorite protein for a one-dish dinner. Try adding tofu, chicken, shrimp, or even seared tuna to your bowl for a hearty dinner that won't leave you feeling stuffed. Add this recipe to your rotation to expand your palate and bring some flavor to the table.

Tips:

  • Choose tender, young spinach leaves: Avoid wilted or bruised leaves, as they will not taste as good and may have a bitter flavor.
  • Wash the spinach thoroughly: Rinse the spinach leaves under cold water several times to remove any dirt or grit.
  • Dry the spinach thoroughly: Use a salad spinner or pat the spinach leaves dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess water.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will help to ensure that the spinach cooks evenly and doesn't steam.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help to prevent the spinach from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the garlic and cook until fragrant: This will help to infuse the oil with flavor.
  • Add the spinach and cook until wilted: Stir the spinach constantly to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste: Be careful not to over-season, as the spinach can easily become too salty.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fried spinach is best served immediately, while it is still hot and tender.
