Description

A quick and nutritious Spinach and Egg Stir-Fry that’s ready in just 15 minutes. This simple Asian-inspired dish features fresh spinach sautéed with garlic and tender scrambled eggs, seasoned with soy sauce and sesame oil for a flavorful, healthy meal perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 pound fresh spinach, washed and drained
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil: In a wok or large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering.
  2. Cook garlic: Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned to release its aromatic flavors.
  3. Cook spinach: Add the fresh spinach to the pan and stir-fry quickly until the leaves are wilted, about 2 minutes, making sure it cooks evenly.
  4. Scramble the eggs: Push the cooked spinach to one side of the pan. Pour the beaten eggs into the open side and scramble them lightly until they begin to set but are still soft.
  5. Combine: Mix the scrambled eggs with the wilted spinach in the pan, blending the textures and flavors.
  6. Season: Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper to the mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine and coat the eggs and spinach with the seasonings evenly.
  7. Serve: Serve the spinach and egg stir-fry hot, ideally accompanied by steamed rice or noodles, as a satisfying main dish or a nutritious side.

Notes

  • You can substitute baby spinach for regular spinach for a more tender texture.
  • Adjust the amount of soy sauce to taste, especially if using low-sodium soy sauce.
  • To boost protein, add tofu or cooked chicken.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of chili flakes during the garlic stir-fry step.
  • Sesame oil is added at the end for flavor; avoid cooking it for too long to preserve its aroma.
