Ingredients
- 250 g Water spinach (morning glory)
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 pieces Bird's eye chili
- 2 tbsp Coconut aminos (or low-sodium soy sauce for low-carb)
- 1 tbsp Fish sauce
- 1 tsp Erythritol (or another keto-friendly sweetener)
- 1 tbsp Oyster sauce (sugar-free, keto-friendly variety)
- 1 tbsp Avocado oil (or another keto-friendly neutral oil)
- 2 tbsp Water
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and drain the water spinach (morning glory). Trim the tough stems, leaving the tender stems and leaves. Cut the stems into 2-3 inch sections for easy cooking and eating.
Step 2
Peel the garlic and lightly smash it with the flat side of a knife to release its aroma. Finely chop the bird's eye chili or leave it in thin slices depending on your preferred spice level.
Step 3
Prepare the sauce by mixing coconut aminos, fish sauce, oyster sauce, erythritol, and water in a small bowl. Stir until the sweetener dissolves completely. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the avocado oil and swirl to coat the surface.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and chili. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not burned.
Step 6
Increase the heat to high and quickly add the water spinach to the wok. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until the leaves begin to wilt. Work quickly to prevent overcooking.
Step 7
Pour the prepared sauce over the water spinach. Continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the sauce coats the vegetables evenly.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove the wok from the heat as soon as the water spinach is tender-crisp and still vibrant green.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a side dish or light main course. Enjoy your keto-friendly stir-fried morning glory!
