Methods of Consuming Spinach
1. Stir-fried Spinach
Remove the roots and old leaves of spinach, rinse them with water, and soak them in clean water for a while. Use your hands to simulate the motion of a washing machine, swirling and stirring to wash away the dirt and sand. Large spinach leaves can be cut into sections.
Heat water in a pot and blanch the spinach briefly (no more than 10 seconds). Immediately remove it and rinse it with cold water. Drain the water. Heat oil in a pan, add the spinach and stir-fry. Add salt and stir-fry until the water is cooked off. Finally, add a little MSG before removing from the pan and serving.
2. Spinach and Egg Soup
Clean the spinach, split them open, soak them in a bowl, and wash them carefully. Cut them into sections. Heat water in a pot, and when the water boils, add the spinach. Beat the eggs and slowly pour them into the pot while stirring with chopsticks to slowly solidify the eggs.
If you want the eggs to be scattered, stir quickly. Turn off the heat, add a few drops of sesame oil for fragrance, and add salt and chicken powder for seasoning. The soup is now ready to be served.
