China Grill Crispy Spinach Recipes

HOW TO MAKE CRISPY FRIED SPINACH

Steps:

• Wash and dry your spinach leaves.
• Remove and stems and shred with a sharp knife. You can see how I did this in the photos above.
• Heat your oil in a large pan. When a piece of spinach instantly sizzles when added to the oil, you're good to go.
• Depending on how much you are making, you may need to cook the shredded spinach in batches.
• As the spinach cooks, it will turn a couple of shades darker. That is a pretty good indication that it is ready.
• Drain cooked crispy spinach on paper towels. It should crisp right up once out of the oil. Season with a little salt.

DEEP FRIED SPINACH

Steps:

• Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a large handful of fresh spinach in fryer basket, and submerge to cook for about thirty seconds. Drain spinach on paper towels, and repeat with remaining batches. Add a little salt and pepper to taste.

EASY FRIED SPINACH

Steps:

• Melt the butter with the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it stops bubbling. This allows the water from the butter to evaporate. Add the garlic; cook and stir for about 2 minutes, until it is just beginning to brown. Put in the spinach leaves and cook for about 5 minutes while stirring, until the leaves are dark and are about 1/4 of their original size.
