Best Sautéed Chinese 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!

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.
