Asian-Style Spinach
If you are looking for an unusual recipe with leaf spinach, you will find it here. Of course, this easily digestible green vegetable does not give anybody the muscle power that the legendary cartoon character Popeye once had, but when it comes to its health value, spinach is way ahead of the rest with its abundance of various minerals, trace elements and vitamins. For this reason, the rating is completely "green".
The oriental leaf spinach tastes good not only as a starter or side dish, but also as a light main course - for example, served with flat bread.
