莧菜皮蛋湯做法貼士： 1、雞湯、皮蛋都有鮮味，此菜可免放味素。(如果用的是清水，就要放點味素增鮮了)2、皮蛋後放，皮蛋鮮香味會更足。
3、莧菜忌與甲魚同食；皮蛋不宜與甲魚、李子、紅糖同食。
4、莧菜的營養價值高，且富含維生素C，烹調時不宜久煮，最好閉蓋煮，以免莧菜的營養成分會大量流失。
莧菜皮蛋湯的具體做法，請參看以下步驟：
莧菜皮蛋湯原料：白莧菜500克，皮蛋(松花蛋)1隻
莧菜皮蛋湯調料：油，大蒜(白皮)2瓣，雞湯一碗(無雞湯就用清水+味素代替)，鹽適量
莧菜洗淨，去老根，用手撕成兩段(根歸根放，葉歸葉放)，大蒜去皮拍碎。皮蛋去殼，用刀背碾碎，講究點就小心切成瓣吧(刀刃沾醋，皮蛋不粘刀，沾一次醋切一下蛋)
坐鍋，油4成熱時，倒入大蒜中火爆香。
轉大火放入莧菜，先放菜根炒再放菜葉翻炒。
加雞高湯、皮蛋中火煮沸。
煮到莧菜熟軟，皮蛋鮮味飄出即可。
