Spinach With Fried Shallots

6 ingredients
3 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 pound baby spinach, rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine* or dry sherry
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Vietnamese or Thai fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chicken stock or water

Directions

  1. 1
    Heat a wok over high heat until very hot; the metal will have a matte appearance and a drop of water flicked onto its surface should evaporate on contact. Add oil and heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  2. 2
    Add 1 tbsp. fried shallots and garlic, cook 10 seconds, then add spinach and rice wine and toss to combine. Add fish sauce and chicken stock and continue stir-frying, tossing ingredients together, until spinach wilts, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl. Sprinkle with rest of fried shallots.
  3. 3
    *Find nutty, slightly sweet Shaoxing rice wine at Asian markets and some liquor stores.
