I'm excited to share one of my go-to dinner recipes featuring kangkong, also known as water spinach or morning glory. It's a simple yet delicious dish that's packed with flavor and nutrients. Here's how I make it:
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch of kangkong (water spinach), washed and trimmed
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil (vegetable or sesame oil works well)
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 red chili, sliced (optional, adjust according to your spice preference)
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce (optional)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Start by preparing the kangkong. Wash the leaves thoroughly and trim off any tough stems. Cut the kangkong into manageable lengths, about 2-3 inches long.
- Heat the cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced onion, and sauté until fragrant and the onion turns translucent, about 1-2 minutes.
- If using, add the sliced red chili to the wok and stir-fry for an additional 30 seconds to release its flavor.
- Add the kangkong to the wok, stirring continuously to coat the leaves with the garlic and onion mixture.
- In a small bowl, mix together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce (if using), and sugar. Pour this sauce mixture over the kangkong in the wok, stirring well to combine.
- Continue to stir-fry the kangkong until it wilts slightly but remains vibrant green, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook it; you want the kangkong to retain some crispness.
- Taste the stir-fry and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Once the kangkong is cooked to your liking and the flavors have melded together, remove the wok from the heat.
- Transfer the kangkong stir-fry to a serving dish and serve hot as a delicious and nutritious side dish or as a main course with steamed rice.
