People often boil morning glory, cook it in soups, and stir-fry it with garlic. I remember when I was little, my mother grew several rows of morning glory in our garden. Almost every meal at our house had a dish made with this vegetable.
I’m not a big fan of boiled or soup-cooked morning glory, but I absolutely love stir-fried morning glory that is both soft and crispy. Stir-frying morning glory with minced garlic adds a spicy and fragrant touch that is very appetizing.
There’s one thing I’ve always admired about my mother – her stir-fried morning glory always has a vibrant green color. My mother said that there is a secret to making delicious stir-fried morning glory: if you’re not careful, the vegetable can turn dark, become too soft, and have an overpowering smell.
Most people usually blanch morning glory before stir-frying.
However, this method does not help maintain the vegetable’s original crispness. Blanching before stir-frying can cause the morning glory to lose its natural crunch.
Instead of blanching, my mother adds the morning glory directly to the pan. She has a few small tricks to keep the vegetable’s vibrant green color.
Today, I will share my mother’s foolproof recipe for delicious stir-fried morning glory with garlic. With a simple method, you can have a plate of stir-fried morning glory that is not discolored and still maintains its crispness and rich flavor. For those who love stir-fried morning glory like me, please follow my recipe.
5 tips for crispy and delicious stir-fried morning glory:
– Soak the morning glory in vinegar water to keep it green and crunchy.
– Do not directly add salt to the morning glory. Instead, use a sauce mixture of salt and soy sauce.
– Morning glory cooks quickly, so you don’t need to stir-fry it for too long. Stir-frying for about 2 minutes is enough.
– Do not blanch the morning glory before stir-frying to preserve its freshness and crunchiness.
– In addition, to prevent the morning glory from losing water and nutrients, you need to use high heat throughout the stir-frying process. Stir quickly and evenly to ensure the vegetables are cooked evenly, remain green, and stay crispy. If you use low heat, the taste will not be as good, the vegetable will become tender, and the color will turn dark.
