Spinach With Ginger And Chile Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. Set up a bowl of well-salted ice water. Blanch the snap peas in the boiling water until they are cooked but still crunchy and then immediately plunge them into the salted ice water. Remove them from the ice water and reserve.
• Coat a large saute pan with olive oil. Add the ginger, garlic, and scallion and cook over medium-high heat until scallions are soft and translucent.
• Add the sugar snap peas and toss to coat in the oil. Add the spinach and toss with the peas until spinach starts to wilt. Remove from heat, season with salt. Toss or stir the spinach to finish wilting and transfer to a serving bowl.
• Snappy!

Steps:

• Heat oil and butter in a large saute pan set over medium-high heat. When hot, add fennel and black cumin seeds. Stir, and add onions and ginger. Stir-fry until onions turn a rich brown color, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add spinach. Cover pan, and cook until spinach has wilted completely, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes. When spinach has wilted, reduce the heat to medium. Add chile, salt, and cayenne pepper, and stir. Cover pan, and cook for 25 minutes more.
• Uncover skillet, and stir. Cook until there is hardly any liquid left in the bottom of the pan, about 5 minutes more. Serve.

Steps:

• Wash spinach well, discarding coarse stems, and drain in a colander. In a wok or large heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until very hot but not smoking and stir-fry gingerroot and garlic until fragrant, 10 to 15 seconds. Add spinach and stir-fry until wilted, about 1 minute. Season spinach with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Put 1/2 inch water in a large, wide soup pot over high heat. When water boils, add garlic and ginger.
• Add large handful spinach to the pot. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then twirl with tongs to barely wilt the spinach, about a minute or less. Using tongs, transfer to a serving bowl. Repeat until all the spinach is cooked.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan of boiling water, blanch the spinach for almost 1 minute. Drain and rinse well in cold water. Squeeze dry, coarsely chop and move to a large, shallow dish.
• In a mini food processor, finely chop the ginger. Move to a small bowl and mix with the chili oil. Let stand for 10 minutes.
• Heat the peanut oil in a medium skillet. Add the ginger and fry over moderate heat until golden, about 4 minutes. Pour through a fine sieve and drain the ginger on paper towels.
• In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce with the vinegar and sugar. Drizzle over the spinach, stir lightly and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Sprinkle the ginger over the spinach and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Season oil with salt and add ginger and chile (if using a fresh chile, make sure to cut a slit in it to prevent it from bursting in the hot oil).
• When ginger begins to sizzle, add spinach to skillet and toss, using tongs, to cook and evenly distribute flavor, until spinach is tender and wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
