To be honest, I have always felt that among all vegetables, water spinach is the most nutritious, so I have rarely eaten water spinach in the past. However, this year's weird weather has resulted in very few varieties of vegetables, and I eat them all the same. Even the value of water spinach has doubled, from a few cents a pound to more than two yuan a pound. Sometimes people just wonder that when they cost a few cents, they don't bother to eat it. When the price rises, it becomes precious, but they fall in love. <br />Today's dish is served with garlic and rice vinegar. It is crispy and sour. It is very refreshing to go with porridge or eat.
