1. When frying water spinach, you must blanch it in advance, and blanching is also very particular. First, boil a pot of water, then add an appropriate amount of oil and salt to the water, and then put the water spinach into the pot and blanch it. It only takes about 15 seconds. Don’t leave it too long, as it will affect the taste. The water spinach will be crispy and green.
2. When frying water spinach, you need to be quick and stir-fry on high heat. The speed must be fast. This is what restaurants do. This way, the green color will look good!
3. Don’t skimp on oil when frying water spinach, add more. Furthermore, when frying, you can add an appropriate amount of vinegar, baking soda or cooking wine depending on the situation. This can also effectively prevent the fried water spinach from turning black. It’s also a very practical little trick.
4. Soak in lemon water before cooking. This is also a strange trick, because the reason why water spinach turns black easily is because it contains iron, so it can be soaked by the acid in lemon water. Corrosion effectively prevents water spinach from turning black.
