How to Make Savory Spinach Salad

1. Heat olive oil in a frying pan, then fry the sliced garlic and dried chili pepper until golden brown. Remove them when done.

2. Quickly sauté the spinach in the remaining olive oil in the pan.

3. Add Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, brown rice vinegar, sugar, and chopped pine nuts, then heat.

4. Arrange the spinach on a plate and sprinkle with garlic to finish.

If you don't have Worcestershire sauce, use dark soy sauce. Reducing the sugar makes it suitable as a side dish for rice. It's also delicious with cheese.
