Healthy, leafy vegetables in a savory sauce.

Serves 4.

Ingredients

1 large bunch water spinach
2 tablespoons oil
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
10 purple shallots, sliced
good grinding of black pepper
2 tablespoons Golden Mountain sauce or Maggi seasoning
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chilli

Directions

Wash water spinach well, shake dry and break into bite-sized lengths, discarding any tough lower stems. Heat the oil in a wok and on gentle heat soften the garlic and shallots. Add the water spinach, stir-frying until wilted. Sprinkle with pepper, Golden Mountain sauce and chopped chilli. Serve at once with rice.

Note: Maggi seasoning, a Swiss-formulated sauce of hydrolysed vegetable protein, has much the same flavor as Golden Mountain sauce and no added monosodium glutamate.
