Speedy soy spinach

This one is a real quick dish as you can prepare it anytime you want. Just remember to wash the spinach really thoroughly before hand as you wouldn't want to be biting sand lol...I've added in a slight variation to the dish and hope you'll love the taste.

Speedy soy spinach(Serves 2)

Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, sliced
200g spinach, washed
2 tbsp soy sauce
a handful of goji berries(in chinese 枸己)
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Preparation method:

1. Wash and rinse spinach until it's clean off sand and dirt. Peel leaves off stems and keep leaves.(you can also have the stems in together, just cut them into sticks).
2. Soak and wash the goji berries. Make sure all water is drained out from the spinach and goji.
3. Heat oil in a pan, then cook the garlic. Tip in the goji and the spinach, then cook for 2 mins stirring often until the spinach begins to wilt.
4. Drizzle over the soy sauce, toss through and then scatter with sesame seeds.

It's a really quick dish to prepare :) enjoy!
