Ginger Sauce Spinach

Coming up with today’s recipe title reminded me of another spinach recipe on this site – Garlic Dressing Spinach, which happens to be the very first post on StreetSmart Kitchen. That was almost a year ago, around summer time.

How much has changed in life from last summer to this summer? Oh my friend, that’s a story for another time when we comfortably bury ourselves in armchairs with full glasses of wine in our hands.

How much has changed between the two spinach recipes from last summer to this summer? Aha! That I can tell you right now.

First of all, because I am a disciplined little Asian woman, there is this simple rule that I obey for my recipes – EASY.HEALTHY.TASTY! Is that cool with you? 😛

Yes?! Great! Now, let’s take a look at what’s special about this recipe.

#1 Shape spinach with a small flat-bottom bowl.
Cooking spinach cannot get easier. It literally only takes a minute to cook in boiling water. Just like making pasta, we rinse it in cold running water to make it nice and cool. Then we pack it into a small flat-bottom bowl firmly to squeeze out the water. Flip it onto your desired serving plate. You are half way done with this healthy dish!

#2. Mix sauce and pour over the prepared spinach.
In Garlic Dressing Spinach recipe, our sauce was made from garlic and oyster sauce. By analogy, guess what’s in this Ginger Sauce? Ginger and oyster sauce. Easy! We are also going to add brown sugar, garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil. (I know, it’s totally Asian!) Combine everything with chicken broth and pour onto the prepared spinach. By now, you have finished 99% of it. Isn’t it just stupidly easy?

#3. Final touch – top with chopped peanuts.
Last step! Sprinkle with chopped peanuts to finish it off gorgeously! That’s it! You have turned 9 ingredients into a fancy-looking delicious spinach dish in less than 9 minutes! Go give yourself a pad on the back and enjoy!

Happy 4th of July! Cheers!
