Brilio.net - Water spinach is one of the vegetables that is popular with many people. This type of green vegetable is reliable because it is easy to process into various dishes, such as stir-fried kale which is a favorite of many people. This is proven by the existence of stir-fried kale menus in various restaurants.
The savory taste of the combination of spices and the soft texture of kale after cooking can always hit the tongue. Especially when eaten with warm rice, side dishes and chili sauce, this dish can automatically increase your appetite.
But unfortunately, not many people know the tricks for keeping kale green, fresh and not soft after sauting it. Apparently, if you saut it, kale can become soft and turn brown or black. This makes the kale less appetizing.
After investigating, there is a trick so that stir-fried kale remains green and crunchy after processing. This method was once shared by a legendary chef via the TikTok account @Chef Yongki Gunawan. To keep kale green, it turns out you only need to rely on 2 kitchen ingredients , namely salt and baking soda.
"I will teach you how to make kale when stir-fried and the results are crunchy, it's actually very easy," he explained, as reported by BrilioFood from the TikTok account @Chef Yongki Gunawan, Wednesday (5/6).
