Water Spinach with Chili Pepper Slices and Fermented Bean Curd

Winter Spinach

Introduction:

Today, I am going to introduce another quick fry recipe that is very health and delicious. I love water spinach, especially the fresh one. In Chinese, it is called “Empty-Hearted Vegetable” because the central part of the vegetable is indeed empty, which I totally agree on.

Ingredients:

Water spinach: 250 g

Red fermented bean curd: 1 piece

Red chili pepper: 1

Green chili pepper: 1

Seasonings:

Scallion: 1 tablespoon (chopped)

Minced ginger: 1/2 teaspoon

Salt: 1/2 teaspoon

MSG: 1/3 teaspoon

Red fermented bean curd juice: 1/2 tablespoon

White sugar: 1 teaspoon

Vegetable oil: 1 tablespoon

Preparation Work:

1. Get the scallion chopped coarsely and the ginger minced;

2. Take a small bowl, put the fermented bean curd, bean curd juice, salt, MSG, white sugar, scallion and ginger mince in it, and blend them together fully into seasoning juice;

3. Rinse the water spinach clean and cut it into pieces of 5 cm long;

4. Wash the chili peppers clean, remove the seeds and stems, and cut them into shreds;

Cooking Steps:

1. Preheat the vegetable oil in the wok on high heat or full flame;

2. Drop the water spinach pieces and shredded chili peppers into the wok and stir fry with full flame;

3. Pour the seasoning juice into the wok when the water spinach begins to get soft.

Cooking Tips:

1. White sugar added to the water spinach in the wok while stir frying it will make the leaves look green and tender.

2. I would rather not cut them with a knife after washing the vegetable clean. I would like to pick the dried leaves and rip the stems into pieces with my hands before washing it. This way, when I am doing it, I can test the tenderness of the parts of stem and remove the firm ones.
