Edible Amaranth | Chinese Spinach

I found some colorful vegetables are full of nutrition. I believe this Chinese Spinach also the same.  It’s has green leaves with red stripes. Wonderful vegetable because it is rich of protein, Vitamin A, B and C. It has double amount of iron that compare to the regular spinach has.



So, this type of chinese spinach always is my 1st choice compare to the regular spinach. In fact, other than stir-fry it with garlic; prepare it in soup also another great cook. 

It’s will look not very presentable to mix it for my kid’s porridge, but the taste still good. Normally I used to mix with some anchovies’ powder to increase the liking.




Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp minced garlic
pinch of salt

Directions:
1. Preheat the wok and add in olive oil. Stir for few second until the garlic is aromatic.
2. Add the spinach and stir for 2-3 minutes. Add some water if it’s too dry.
3. Until the leave is almost wilted and add the salt for taste.
4. Dip up and blend to puree. Mix in 1 tablespoon into cooked porridge and serve.
5. Store the balance in ice tray.
