Ingredients
- 200 grams Morning glory (water spinach)
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 2 small Red chili
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (lite or low-sodium)
- 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce (low-carb, sugar-free)
- 1 teaspoon Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
- 1 tablespoon Oil (avocado or coconut oil)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the morning glory thoroughly. Trim off the tough stem ends and cut the rest into 3-4 inch pieces, separating the stems from the leaves.
Step 2
Peel and finely chop the garlic. Slice the red chilies thinly.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, erythritol, and water. Set aside.
Step 4
Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
Step 5
Add the chopped garlic and red chilies to the oil and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Increase the heat to high and add the morning glory stems. Stir-fry for about 1 minute to soften slightly.
Step 7
Add the morning glory leaves and pour in the prepared sauce mixture. Stir-fry everything together quickly for another 1-2 minutes until the leaves are wilted but still vibrant green.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately as a side dish or over cauliflower rice for a complete low-carb meal.
