1
Prepare the Spinach
Thoroughly wash the fresh spinach leaves and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it's shimmering but not smoking.
3
Flash Fry the Spinach
Add the spinach to the hot oil in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute or until the leaves are wilted and bright green. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
4
Season the Spinach
While the spinach is still warm, sprinkle it with salt and black pepper to taste.
5
Add Cheese and Balsamic
Transfer the flash-fried spinach to a serving dish. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and sprinkle the asiago cheese on top.
