About Kangkung belacan

Kangkung Belacan is a flavorful Southeast Asian dish originating from Malaysian and Indonesian cuisines. It features water spinach (kangkung) stir-fried with belacan, a fermented shrimp paste, along with garlic, chili, and sometimes shallots, creating a savory and aromatic side dish. Rich in dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, and minerals like iron and potassium, water spinach provides essential nutrients beneficial for digestion, immune function, and overall health. The dish's chilies offer capsaicin, known for its potential metabolism-boosting properties. However, belacan is high in sodium, so those monitoring salt intake should enjoy in moderation. Typically served with rice, Kangkung Belacan is not only a nutritious accompaniment but also a vibrant showcase of bold regional flavors.
