With their slender built, Vietnamese are obviously fond of eating green leafy vegetables and herbs.  We wanted to make our mama proud, and included a vegetable dish in our private cooking lessons at Goian, Bach Dang Street, Hoi An, Vietnam.

Ingredients:
100 grams spinach
1 tsp salt
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tbsp oyster sauce

1 tbsp vegetable oil
pinch of pepper (black or white)

Procedure:
1.  Add boiling water in pot, add salt.  Boil for 2 minutes.
2.  Add spinach, boil for 2 minutes. (and notice the change in color to bright dark green).
3.  Remove spinach from the boiling water then drain.
4.  In a pan, heat oil in meadium heat.
5.  Stir garlic for 30 seconds
6.  Add spinach and oyster sauce.
7.  Cook for 2 minutes, add pepper to taste.
