Poached Spinach
Spinach is very nutritious and is ideal for those recovering from an illness and has little appetite. It is soft and easy to chew, making it suitable for elderly and small children.Chop it to small pieces to avoid choking on the strands, cook it with some minced fish or pork in a porridge/congee till it is very soft or to your preference. Add a dash of soya sauce for those with little appetite but it is not recommended if you are cooking it for small children, don't spoil their taste buds at this young tender age.
For the rest of us, spinach can also be good on its own as a cold salad/side dish.
