Ingredients

  • 10 oz fresh spinach
  • 5-6 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp chicken bouillon powder
  • vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Heat skillet or wok on medium heat. Add vegetable oil.
  • Once skillet is heated, add minced garlic and spinach. Sprinkle chicken bouillon powder all over spinach.
  • Stir to combine spinach with chicken bouillon powder and garlic.
  • Once spinach is cooked down, remove from heat promptly.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Spinach will cook down so it's okay if it overflows the skillet at the beginning. If spinach really doesn't fit into the skillet or wok at the beginning, consider adding spinach onto skillet in batches. Start by adding as much spinach as you can to fit into the heated skillet, sprinkle some of the chicken bouillon powder, stir until spinach is cooked down. Once there's room, quickly add the rest of the spinach, chicken bouillon and stir again to cook it all down. 
  • The entire stir fry process goes fast! It should take no more than 1-2 minutes for spinach to completely cook down. Avoid overcooking spinach to avoid sogginess.
