Hey hello, this time Yulis turn to share simple and awesome recipe. This recipe is all about vegetables, again. Did Hani mention that we love vegetables? This morning I meet Abah, our favorite vegetable vendor. I saw water spinach in his stall and I think its a good time to share healthy recipe which is full of greens.
Well, I want to give you some important information about water spinach. It contains of many essential oils such as estragol, cineol, incomene, and phelandrene, the oils that help reduce bad breath.It is very useful for me who meet many people and villagers at work.
I usually saute the stem about two minutes earlier over high heat before I add the leaves because it has different doneness. Please make this simple and healthy recipe.
