Method

Wash the spring greens or cabbage leaves carefully, then cut into the thinnest possible strips. Spread them out on a clean cloth and leave to dry for a few hours, or overnight.

Heat the oil and deep-fry the strips of leaves in batches for 2 minutes or until darker green and crisp. Drain on kitchen paper and toss with the sugar, salt and monosodium glutamate, if using.
