Stir-fried red amaranth

Stir-fried red amaranth

Red amaranth wilts into a striking magenta pool with garlic and a whisper of water, finished with a spoonful of lard for gloss, and locals love spooning that crimson broth over rice.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the amaranth, wash it clean, and drain the water.

    Smash the garlic cloves to peel them and then dice them (just make a few random cuts, or you can skip it).

    The pot emitted a slight smoke into the air.

    Stir-fry the amaranth leaves, add a little water halfway through, and in the end, there will be red broth (my favorite is to pour it over rice).

    Adding a small spoonful of lard before taking it off the heat can enhance the color of the dish.

    Plating (make a small hole in the middle with chopsticks; Mom said this way the dish won't easily get trapped inside and turn yellow).
