Ingredients
- 400 grams Water spinach (kangkung), washed and trimmed
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 pieces Shallots, thinly sliced
- 1 piece Red chili (optional for spice), thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Avocado oil (or any Whole30-compliant cooking oil)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the water spinach (kangkung) by washing it thoroughly and trimming the tough ends of the stems. Cut into 4-5 inch pieces and set aside.
Step 2
Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic, sliced shallots, and red chili (if using). Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
Step 4
Add the water spinach to the wok in batches if necessary. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the leaves begin to wilt.
Step 5
Pour in the coconut aminos and 2 tablespoons of water. Mix well to coat the water spinach evenly.
Step 6
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Continue stir-frying for another 2-3 minutes, or until the stems are tender but still have a slight crunch.
Step 7
Remove the dish from the heat and transfer to a serving plate.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a side dish or pair it with your favorite Whole30-compliant protein for a wholesome meal.
