How to prepare Vegetarian Water Spinach Salad

• 1

  Prepare the ingredients

  Clean the water spinach, rinse with diluted lemon juice or vegetable wash. Break the long stems in half for easier eating.

  Soak the pork ribs in cold water for about 30 – 40 minutes to soften. Squeeze out excess water until dry, then rinse with water about 5 – 6 times and squeeze the ribs to remove more foam. After that, tear the ribs into small pieces, place them in a bowl, and season with: 1/2 teaspoon of MSG, 2 teaspoons of salt, and mix well to absorb the flavors.

  Tip: Do not rinse with salt water as it will bruise the vegetables, making them less tasty. When washing, be gentle to avoid damaging the greens.

  Mix the dressing

  In a bowl, add 1.5 teaspoons of sugar, 3 tablespoons of vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of salt, and stir well to dissolve.

  Then add 1 teaspoon of chili sauce and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning, then add chopped chili if desired.

  Note: It is recommended to mix the dressing separately and stir until all ingredients are dissolved before adding it to the salad, so that the salad will absorb the dressing evenly and taste better.
