Servings: 2 servings
Calories: 158cal
Equipment
- Wok or large skillet
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- 8 ounces fresh spinach leaves
- kosher salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- granulated sugar to taste
- red pepper flakes to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add garlic and saute 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add spinach leaves and season with black pepper, salt, sugar, and red pepper flakes.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until spinach leaves are wilted.
Notes
- You can use either baby spinach or mature spinach. I recommend trimming mature spinach stems before cooking. Spinach shrinks considerably when cooked, so keep that in mind. Feel free to double this recipe if needed.
- Salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and sugar all comes down to personal preference. I recommend tasting as you go. Start small and add as needed when it comes to seasonings.
- The sugar called for in the ingredients simply helps balance out the bitterness. You'll really only need a pinch, but tweak it after tasting to suit your tastebuds.
