instructions
    1

    Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    2

    Once the oil is hot, add 1 chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes or until it becomes translucent.

    3

    Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

    4

    Now, add 250 grams of minced meat to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the meat is fully browned.

    5

    While the meat is cooking, chop 1 eggplant into bite-sized pieces.

    6

    Add the eggplant to the skillet and continue to stir-fry for another 5 minutes until the eggplant is tender.

    7

    Next, incorporate 200 grams of spinach into the skillet. It should wilt within a couple of minutes.

    8

    Pour in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and season with 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix thoroughly and let everything cook together for an additional 2 minutes.

    9

    Turn off the heat, and your Stir-Fried Spinach and Eggplant with Minced Meat is ready to serve.

Important Tips

  • For more flavor, add a splash of sesame oil at the end.
  • Adjust the soy sauce to your taste – less for a milder dish, more for richer flavor.
