Have you had Frizzled Spinach? (restaurant, healthy, shrimp, snacks)

I'm nuts about it. All it is is fresh, dried spinach plunged into a fryer for a few seconds, then drained and spinkled with salt. I had it served with a sandwich, like potato chips, only maybe more healthy, and for sure more colorful. I'm surprised that it hasn't become a craze everywhere.

Sounds good. I have not ever had it. I do like to steam it and top brown rice w spinach and pepper.

Sounds sorta blah, tastes really good.

Where do you get fresh "dried" spinach. Never had it but sounds interesting

My kids absolutely adore it, we have it often at Chinese restaurants, but they think it is Chinese Crispy Seaweed - in Chinese restaurants it isn't actually seaweed but bok choy (or some other dark green leafy stuff) deep-fried and sugar-and-salted, sometimes with a grated dried shrimp seasoning.

It's yummy, I love the taste but it's a bit oily for me

I had it once at a fancy Chinese restaurant in Las Vegas - I think it was in the Mandalay Bay.

It was really delicious.

Toss it in the old dehydrator

Never heard of it. If it's fried I'm willing to give it a try.

One of my favorite snacks. One of my favorite restaurants serves fried calamari on a bed of frizzled spinach- I like the spinach better than the calamari.

I may be wrong but I thought what Gentlearts ment by dried spinach that it is still fresh spinach but dried off as far as water from rinsing it. Is this correct?

Yes, I believe the leaves are just 'not wet'!
