How to Make Stir-Fried Spinach with Eggs: A Comprehensive Guide

Stir-fried spinach with eggs is a quick, nutritious, and delicious dish loved worldwide. Here’s a step-by-step guide to perfecting it.

### Ingredients

- Fresh spinach: 200g (washed and drained)

- Eggs: 2-3 (lightly beaten with a pinch of salt)

- Garlic: 2 cloves (minced)

- Cooking oil: 2 tablespoons

- Salt: ½ teaspoon (or to taste)

- Soy sauce: 1 teaspoon (optional, for umami)

- White pepper: a dash (optional)

### Instructions

1. Prep the Spinach: Trim tough stems from spinach. If leaves are large, tear them into bite-sized pieces. Wash thoroughly and drain well—excess water will make the dish soggy.

2. Cook the Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok over medium heat. Pour in beaten eggs and scramble until softly set (about 1-2 minutes). Remove eggs and set aside.

3. Sauté Aromatics: Add remaining oil to the wok. Toss in minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant (10-15 seconds).

4. Stir-Fry Spinach: Add spinach to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until wilted. If the pan is too dry, splash 1 tablespoon of water to help it cook.

5. Combine and Season: Return scrambled eggs to the wok. Add salt, soy sauce (if using), and white pepper. Toss everything together for 30 seconds until evenly mixed.

6. Serve: Transfer to a plate and enjoy hot with steamed rice!

### Tips

- For extra flavor, a dash of sesame oil or oyster sauce can be added at the end.

- Don’t overcook the spinach—it should retain a slight crunch.

This simple dish balances the earthy taste of spinach with the richness of eggs, making it a perfect weekday meal!
