Spinach tastes wonderful in spring. Its roots are red, and its leaves are green, extraordinarily fresh, tender, and delicious. Rich in vitamins and minerals, spinach turns any meal healthy, and it’s good for preventing spring dryness. In this shredded vegetable medley, we take tender spinach leaves, blanch them and mix with a stir-fried carrot, egg, potato, and black fungus for a vibrantly coloured course. Spinach and carrots are both rich in carotene, which is beneficial to the eyes, so this dish doesn’t just brighten your plate, it brightens your eyes too.
