Instructions

  1. Prepare the water spinach. Trim the tough ends of the stems and discard any wilted leaves. Cut the water spinach into manageable, bite sized pieces by breaking the stems.
  2. Blanch the water spinach. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Blanch the cut water spinach in the boiling water for about 2 minutes or until the stems become slightly tender but still crisp. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
  3. Stir-Fry. Heat the cooking oil in a wok or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Add the blanched water spinach to the wok, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until the water spinach is evenly coated with the garlic-infused oil.
  4. Infuse with flavor. Stir in oyster sauce and sugar over the mixture and continue to stir-fry for an additional 1-2 minutes until the water spinach is tender yet still vibrant green.
  5. Taste test. Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding salt and pepper according to your preference.
  6. Serve. Transfer it to a serving dish. Serve alongside your favorite main course.
