炒红米苋 (Wok Stir-Fried Red Amaranth)
Lunch @ '兴熙北' in Chengdu, near the Spice Wholesale Market.
Red Amaranth is a fairly common Chinese vegetable and is even found in Southeast Asia. The only difference in this version in Sichuan is that it still retained its crunchiness post stir-frying while in most of the stir-fry dishes in Southeast Asia, it is stir-fried and cooked to a whisker of dissolving.
Red Amaranth has a strong taste - a slightly musty herbal greenness to it. I neither like or dislike it.
