About Sauteed kangkung

Sauteed Kangkung, also known as stir-fried water spinach, is a popular dish in Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. This vibrant and light dish is prepared by quickly sautéing kangkung leaves and stems with garlic, chili, and soy sauce or oyster sauce, often accompanied by shrimp paste for added depth of flavor. Rich in vitamins A, C, and iron, kangkung is prized for its ability to boost immunity, support eye health, and promote healthy digestion. Low in calories and high in fiber, it makes an excellent side dish for balanced meals. However, the addition of sauces high in sodium can make it less heart-healthy, so moderating the seasoning or opting for reduced-sodium alternatives is recommended. Its simplicity, nutrient profile, and bold flavors make Sauteed Kangkung a nutritious and satisfying choice for those exploring plant-based dishes from Asian cuisine.
