Notes

  1. Chard contains oxalic acid, and it will be astringent when directly fried, so you need to blanch in advance.
  2. The chard should be cooked until completely soft and rotten.
  3. Charcoal contains a large amount of oxalic acid, which will affect the absorption of calcium. Do not eat with foods rich in calcium.
