Ingredients
- 300 grams Water spinach (kangkung)
- 4 medium Shallots, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 medium Red chili (optional, adjust to spice preference), sliced
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground white pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (or another neutral oil)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the water spinach thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or grit. Trim the tough ends of the stems and cut the water spinach into 3-4 inch pieces. Set aside to drain.
Step 2
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the coconut oil and let it melt and warm up for about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Add the sliced shallots and minced garlic to the pan. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
Step 4
If using red chili, add it to the pan and stir-fry for another 30 seconds.
Step 5
Increase the heat to high. Add the water spinach to the pan and toss quickly to coat the leaves and stems in the aromatics and oil.
Step 6
Pour in the coconut aminos and water. Sprinkle in the sea salt and ground white pepper. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the water spinach is wilted but still vibrant green.
Step 7
Remove from heat and immediately transfer to a serving plate to prevent overcooking.
Step 8
Serve hot as a side dish to accompany your main course or with steamed rice.
