To get his 5-year-old child to eat vegetables, this father, surnamed Li from the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou, mashed together a bunch of vegetables, including spinach, into flour to make vegetable noodles. /VCG Photo

Li cut up spinach leaves and dried the mashed leaves by straining them several times. Next, he mixed them with flour and kneaded the dough. /VCG Photo

To let the flour mix thoroughly with the vegetables, Li chopped the dough repeatedly and then kneaded the dough again for chewy and springy noodles. /VCG Photo

To stimulate his child’s appetite and curiosity, he used the green noodles to make different patterns and shapes. /VCG Photo
