Garlic stir-fried morning glory might seem simple, but not everyone knows how to stir-fry morning glory to perfection while keeping its vibrant green color intact!

Garlic stir-fried morning glory is a popular dish in Vietnamese households, known for its deliciousness and health benefits. Morning glory has surprising effects in preventing and treating diseases, in addition to containing many beneficial nutrients for health, skin, and brain. Almost every homemaker knows how to cook this dish, but achieving stir-fried morning glory with crisp, green, tasty stalks, without darkening, is always a topic of great interest to many women.

Ingredient preparation: (for 4 servings)

- 1 bunch of morning glory

- 4 cloves of garlic

- Cooking oil

- 1 lime

- Seasonings: fish sauce, sugar, seasoning powder, chili

How to cook garlic stir-fried morning glory:

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients:

- Clean the morning glory, remove the tough stems, and use only the tender parts for a crispier texture

- Peel and finely chop the garlic

Step 2: Cooking

- Bring a pot of water to a rapid boil, add a pinch of salt to keep the vegetables vibrant green.

Note: The water should cover the vegetables completely to prevent them from turning dark. Stir the vegetables twice, then quickly remove them from the water. Do not overcook, or the vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor!

- After removing the vegetables, quickly plunge them into cold water. This is also the secret to keeping them green and crisp. Then, remove the vegetables from the water and spread them evenly.

- Heat oil in a pan, once the oil is hot, add the garlic and stir quickly.

- When the garlic becomes fragrant and turns golden, add the prepared morning glory to the pan. Continue to stir with chopsticks, then season with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of MSG, adjusting to taste. Then add a little more chopped garlic to the vegetables and continue to stir until fragrant and the morning glory looks appealing. Taste to check the seasoning, then transfer to a plate.

Pro tip:

- Stir-frying vegetables in a pan yields better results than using a pot because it helps to evaporate excess moisture, resulting in a crispier texture.

- You can squeeze in some lime juice for a richer and more flavorful garlic stir-fried morning glory.

Garlic stir-fried morning glory, when cooked properly, will have a vibrant green color and a rich aroma of garlic. The crunchy texture blends harmoniously with the refreshing tanginess of lime, making it extremely enjoyable on hot sunny days.
