Asian Sauteed Spinach Food

BEST SAUTéED CHINESE SPINACH

Steps:

• Wash and remove the stems from the spinach or kale, if necessary.
• Combine the broth, soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch and sesame oil in a small bowl. Taste and if needed add salt. I only add salt if I use low sodium broth and soy sauce. If either have salt I don't generally add any.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until it shimmers or when a drop of water flicked in it dances.
• Add the garlic and stir. If garlic starts to brown you need to reduce your heat.
• Quickly stir the soy mixture to make sure the cornstarch is totally dissolved. Add to the garlic in the skillet.
• Simmer for a few minutes until mixture thickens.
• Increase the heat, add the spinach and cook.
• Stir, with a wooden spoon, until starting to wilt and totally coated in soy mixture, about a minute.
• When serving, serve with a slotted spoon to reduce juices or serve juices on top of rice.
• Enjoy!

SAUTEED SPINACH AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saute pan or skillet (not nonstick) over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes (do not let the garlic brown). Push the garlic off to the side of the pan and add the mushrooms. Increase the heat to medium high and season the mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are cooked through and begin to become golden in spots, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add the spinach, sprinkle with an additional pinch of salt and turn with tongs until wilted. (If you can't fit all the spinach in the pan, cover it for a few minutes, then uncover, stir and add the rest.) Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with the vinegar and serve warm.

GARLIC SAUTEED SPINACH

Steps:

• Rinse the spinach well in cold water to make sure it's very clean. Spin it dry in a salad spinner, leaving just a little water clinging to the leaves.
• In a very large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and saute the garlic over medium heat for about 1 minute, but not until it's browned. Add all the spinach, the salt, and pepper to the pot, toss it with the garlic and oil, cover the pot, and cook it for 2 minutes. Uncover the pot, turn the heat on high, and cook the spinach for another minute, stirring with a wooden spoon, until all the spinach is wilted. Using a slotted spoon, lift the spinach to a serving bowl and top with the butter, a squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkling of sea or kosher salt. Serve hot.

JAPANESE SPINACH WITH SWEET SESAME SEEDS

Steps:

• Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the spinach 3 to 4 cups at a time. Cook and stir to wilt, then add more spinach.
• Grind the sesame seeds into fine crumbs using a mortar and pestle. When spinach is wilted, move it to the sides of the pan and sprinkle sugar in the center. When the sugar melts, stir in the spinach to coat.
• Transfer spinach to a serving plate and sprinkle ground sesame seeds on top.

QUICK AND EASY SAUTEED SPINACH
