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.

PAN FRIED SPINACH

Steps:

• In a skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon until evenly brown and crisp. Drain, crumble, and set aside.
• Melt the butter and heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Mix in the crumbled bacon, garlic, and onion. Cook and stir 2 minutes, then mix in the spinach until evenly coated with the butter and oil. Cover skillet, reduce heat to low, and cook 5 minutes, stirring often, or until spinach is tender. Season with salt and pepper to serve.

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.

CRACKLING SPINACH

Steps:

• Sprinkle shredded spinach over a kitchen towel or tissue paper. Dab with another towel or tissue and remove as much moisture as possible. Keep covered until ready to fry.
• Heat oil in a kadai or frying pan on medium flame for deep frying. Once hot, sprinkle the spinach carefully into the pan. Fry on medium for 2-3 minutes or until crispy. Use a slotted spoon or a spider strainer to remove the spinach. Transfer onto a tissue lined plate.
• Add ginger and garlic into a spider strainer and place it in the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and transfer to a tissue lined plate.
• Transfer the fried spinach, ginger and garlic into a bowl. Add toasted sesame seeds, red chilli flakes, castor sugar and salt. Toss to combine and serve hot.
