How to choose fresh water spinach
- To buy fresh water spinach, you should choose bunches with small stems; when you break the stem, you should see a light sap.
- Avoid choosing bunches with thick stems, too brittle, dark green leaves, and overly shiny because these vegetables contain a lot of protein and leaf fertilizers, which can affect health if consumed.
- Before cooking, you should wash the vegetables with clean water several times to remove chemicals and dirt. If you see many bubbles when washing, you should not use them anymore as the vegetables may be contaminated with chemicals.

- You can buy unsalted butter at TasteVN stores, traditional markets, supermarkets, or grocery stores.
- The price of unsalted butter ranges from 9,000 to 15,000 VND for an 80g jar, depending on the type.
