ISO Crispy Spinach

[dragnlaw]

I once made some fried crispy spinach. I know I used egg white for the spinach leaves. I cannot find the recipe in my stash nor on line! At least not with egg whites.
Has anyone here made this?

Not me, I haven't made it. I think I had it in a Chinese resto once, a long time ago.

My son had been telling me it was good. Like you taxy, I'd seen it on Asian menu's but never ordered. Then one day with a friend, her mom & sis, we stopped in one on the way home. All 3 ordered it and said I had to try!
I did and I was super impressed - it was great!
My son laughed and said the proverbial... "I told you so!"
I tried it at home and was also great but rather messy! This recipe was with egg whites I'm pretty sure!
Of course it's tricky and with said oil all over the place LOL. I'll get it together and do it 'upstairs' where I have proper counter space to the stove top.

Is it like a kale chip?

Don't really know, as I have never considered Kale in any form what-so-ever. It's right up there with liver.

If I am remembering the crispy spinach correctly, no. The kale chips are much sturdier. I think the spinach sort of shattered and dissolved in your mouth.

Absolutely spot on! @taxlady do you happen to remember if they seemed to be coated, as in an egg white?

No, I have no idea. I guess I was enjoying the food and company too much to pay attention to details.
