  1. Wash individual stems thoroughly. You can break bigger stems into smaller pieces.

  3. In the boiling water, add a pinch of salt, and then add purslane. Cook for 1 minute.
  4. Remove the purslane to a plate.

Notes

  • You can also eat raw purslane, but I find 1-minute blanching makes it taste much better.
