1. If you don’t want to roll the water spinach stems into knots, you can also dry them and cut them into small sections. The following steps are still the same (the time for cutting into sections and marinating should be shortened to 1 to 2 days before you can eat them) 2. The marinating time can be increased or decreased according to the temperature. If the temperature is high, the marinating time will be shorter (it is almost ready to eat when the marinating color turns yellow) 3. After marinating, you can open the lid and eat it directly, or you can fry it. It is very appetizing when used to stir-fry meat or stir-fry it directly.4. Eat as soon as possible after marinating. After marinating, you can store it in the refrigerator for about a week. Use water-free and oil-free chopsticks every time
