Water spinach is a vegetable that is fast to harvest and easy to grow in our area. Besides pak choy. We can even grow water spinach without any fertilizer at all.
They are even sometimes called wild vegetables because they spread so easily and grow abundantly.
You can watch some of my videos about planting water spinach from start to harvest, on my YouTube channel.
Coincidentally, this time, I will harvest water spinach / kangkong accompanied by a new cat who just came to my house. (It seems like he was thrown away by someone in my garden).
I will cook water spinach this time for lunch, with shrimp ingredients. With simple seasoning but truly yummy since my husband approved of the taste.
First, I harvested enough water spinach. Also, I harvested some red chilies to complete my cooking this time. You can use red bell peppers as a substitute for chilies.
I also harvested kaffir lime leaves and bay leaves. These two leaves are super herbs that make cooking smell heavenly good!

SERVING
Serve water spinach side dishes with rice, topped with sesame seeds! Oh, sooooo good! The key to authentic flavor comes from kaffir lime leaves and bay leaves. Combined with garlic and soy sauce! It's all perfect!
In fact, I often use the same seasoning for different vegetables. Such as broccoli, and also pak choy. So, do you want to try my virtual restaurant? :) See you!
