Amaranth [xiàn cài] should be considered a household name in Guangdong, mainly because of the hot and humid climate in Guangdong, and this kind of dish has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, so it can be said that such a dish on the hot summer table is the best selected! There are two main ways to eat amaranth: 1. Serve amaranth in soup 2. Stir-fried amaranth. From personal experience, the method of soup is slightly complicated (after all, the soup requires a lot of preparation), while the stir-fry only needs to be fried with garlic.

Tips:
1. If it is the first time for a friend who has seen this dish, it might be quite entangled. What are the red sap and red granules attached to the leaves? First of all, the red juice is the juice from this purple amaranth. It is pure natural and no additives... Then everyone should have guessed the red granular stuff, that's right! It's the dyed garlic.
2. In fact, there is not much attention paid to this dish. It is still the same sentence, try not to add water during the frying process, and you can add more garlic particles if you like to eat garlic!
