Before getting into the trick, first clean the water spinach that will be cooked. Don't forget to split the water spinach stems, so that all the dirt or worms in it are easily removed when washed. Rinse the water spinach with running water while stirring it so that all the stains are gone.

After rinsing twice, soak the kale in clean water. Then, add salt and baking soda to taste. Yup, those are the two main ingredients to help the kale become cleaner and stay green. After adding salt and baking soda, let the kale soak for a while.
"Soak it for about 3 minutes," said YouTube account owner Rahma Business, quoted by BrilioFood on Saturday (11/1).
