While surfing around the other day I found a blog that I would like to share with you all. Matt from GreenEatsBlog was encouraging other bloggers to participate in Wok Wednesdays. If you would like to participate, please go to Wok Wednesdays blog and sign up!
On selected Wednesdays a recipe will be featured out of Grace Young's cookebook, Stir-Frying to the Sky's Edge.
Yesterday was our first Wok Wednesday, with a very simple Stir- Fried Garlic Spinach! This was very fast and yummy. It took me longer to clean the spinach than it took to cook it.
I purchased 3 bundles of fresh spinach thinking that would probably give me the 16 cups of spinach that the recipe was calling for. I've forgotten what a pain in the a$$ it is to clean fresh spinach. I've gotten very used to the triple washed, cleaned and trimmed spinach that you can purchase these days! haha!
I cut off the bottom of each bundle of spinach.
I filled the sink with the spinach and then ran cold water over the spinach and let the spinach sit. I removed the spinach from the water, cleaned out the sink, there was plenty of sand and dirt on the bottom and repeated the cleaning process. I think I did this 3 times to make sure there was no dirt left anywhere! There is nothing worse than chewing on sand! So when you think it's clean, clean it again!
The Woking part was easy! I heated the oil and waited until it was hot enough, added the garlic and worked quickly so the garlic didn't burn. The spinach was added and tossed and then sprinkled with a little salt and tossed again.
Out of the wok, and into a serving plate, right to the table.
Enjoyed by all!
I'm looking forward to woking again. We'll be making a chicken dish. Check back soon!
Buon Appetito

Nice photos and blog-post. Looking forward to the cashew chicken!
ReplyDeleteThis was such an easy and great recipe. I loved the spinach, kudos for getting the fresh (yeah, I totally got the triple washed, especially since it was on sale)! Can't wait for the Cashew Chicken!
