Simple & healthy Kang Kung recipe

Good morning!

It's such a beautiful day today, and why not make it better by trying out this dish?
Kang kung (also known as water spinach) is my all-time, hands down favourite vegetable. It originates from South-East Asia and is so easy to whip up in just 10 minutes. My mom actually grows them in our garden because it's not sold in many places here so I get to make this dish any time I please ♥

Ingredients:

  • 4 shallots
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 chilli
  • 1/2 cup water
  • A generous handful of fresh kang kung

Directions:

1. Place a pan on high heat with 1/2 cup water (my mom usually laughs at the fact I refuse to use oil instead, but while you're using all natural ingredients.. why not?). While you wait for it to heat up, wash your kang kung.
Step_ (2)
2. Chop the garlic, shallot and chilli up in slices then place it in the boiling water. Stir for about a minute.
Step_ (1)
Step_ (3)
3. Add your kang kung in and keep stirring until most of the water has evaporated. (Should only take 5 minutes)
Step_ (4)
Step_ (5)
4. Enjoy the kang kung! I personally enjoy my kang kung just like this but when my mom makes it she usually adds in a tablespoon on fish sauce or soy sauce and it tastes really yummy that way too. 
