Vietnamese Blanched Water Spinach (Canh Rau Muống Luộc)

Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 0.85 lb water spinach cleaned, trimmed
  • 2-3 tablespoon fish sauce
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • ⅓ teaspoon msg
  • Lime juice
  • Nuoc Mam Cham to serve

Instructions

  • In a 3 qt pot, fill it ¾ full with water and bring to boil.
  • Blanch the water spinach in batches for 2 minutes per batch. Remove the water spinach once blanched in a colander to cool.
  • Season your blanching water with fish sauce, sugar, and msg. Taste and adjust accordingly. Turn off the heat.
  • To serve, assemble your blanched water spinach in a plate with a side of Nuoc Mam Cham for dipping.
  • To serve the soup, add to bowl and add lime juice (to your liking). I like mine extra sour so I’ll squeeze ½ to ¾ of an entire lime per family sized bowl. Serve with rice.
