Dish 3 - Stir-fried Water Spinach Stems with Vinegar and Soy Sauce Ingredients: Water spinach stems, garlic, chili, salt, white vinegar, soy sauce Instructions: 1. Wash and cut water spinach stems into sections. Marinate with salt (knead vigorously). Smash garlic cloves and slice chili peppers. 2. Rinse the salt off the water spinach stems. 3. Heat oil in a pan, sauté garlic and chili until fragrant. Add water spinach stems and stir-fry evenly. 4. Season with salt, soy sauce, and white vinegar. You can add more white vinegar, as this dish needs a tangy and pungent flavor. Stir-fry evenly. These three dishes allow you to use up all the water spinach. Since the elderly in my family have difficulty chewing, they can eat the leaves while the stems are prepared separately.
