Stir-Fried Spinach

Spinach, containing a good deal of salt and iron, sometimes leaves one with a puckery aftertaste unless a little sugar is added. It needs a good amount of oil to give it luster and a smooth texture, garlic and sesame oil to enrich the flavor, and a very brief parboiling to prevent it from turning watery. This soft, shiny spinach is delicious hot or cold.
