Seaweed with Flaked Almond

SEAWEED WITH FLAKED ALMOND

INGREDIENTS:

½ kilo spring greens
for deep frying, groundnut oil
¼ tsp fine salt
1 tsp caster sugar
½ cup toasted flaked almonds

PROCEDURE:

1. Under cold running water wash the spring greens then pat dry with kitchen paper. Cut and discard the thick white stems from the spring greens, leaving just the leaves.
2. Arrange several of the spring greens on top of one another, roll them tightly and using a very sharp knife, slice the leaves as fine strips as possible.
3. Fill the wok with groundnut oil halfway and heat to 180 C. Deep fry the spring greens, in batches, for about 1 minute, until they crisp. Remove each batch from the wok as soon as it is ready and drain on kitchen paper.
4. In a serving dish, sprinkle with the salt and sugar then mix well. Scatter over the top the toasted flaked almonds as garnishing.
