Instructions

Heat the Pan: Begin by heating a large pan on medium heat. Add the salted butter and let it melt, creating a rich base for the stir-fry.
-
Sauté Garlic: Once the butter has melted, add the finely chopped garlic to the pan. Sauté for about 30 seconds to a minute, or until the garlic becomes fragrant and golden. This will infuse the butter with a savory aroma.

Add Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach leaves. As you stir, the spinach will begin to wilt down, turning into a lovely, tender texture. Continue stir-frying for about 3-5 minutes over medium-high heat until the spinach has completely wilted and softened.

Season: Once the spinach is cooked down, season the stir-fry with salt, black pepper powder, and dried mixed herbs. Stir well to combine the flavors and make sure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
