(This venue is closed.) Even at a seafood restaurant, leafy greens are a familiar part of a family-style Chinese meal, the cloudy yellow liquid, perhaps less so. This tangle of spinach (lunch special, $5.75) was stir-fried with fermented bean curd, which adds a slight funkiness to complement the ginger and garlic. Water spinach often receives the same treatment from Vietnamese as well as Chinese cooks.
