  • 1 red chile dried flakes or fresh, chopped (and de-seeded)
  • zest of 1 small fresh lime
  • 1 Tbsp fish sauce optional
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 2 Tbsp oil divided (I like to use 1 Tbsp each of coconut oil & sesame, or olive oil)

Serving ideas:

  • Carrot swirls (use vegetable peeler)
  • Scallions sliced
  • Purple lettuce thinly sliced

Instructions

  • In large frying pan, over medium heat, heat 1/2 of the cooking oil, then sauté spinach, cilantro, onion, garlic, ginger, & chile. About 3 minutes. Set aside.
