YES!!! I love this dish. Adult me really does have excellent taste in green veggies. Had you of asked child me about this dish, I would have turned my nose up at you and said… rabbit food. 🙂 Looks delicious, totes making this soon.
If you are lucky enough to find a bunch fresh, you need to be aware that it must be cooked well, i.e. boil, steam, stir-fry just a little more than you would regular Asian greens.
This is because fresh Kangkong can host larval cysts, (eggs), of a large parasitic intestinal fluke called Fasciolopsis buski, and whilst Ol’buski Boy my ‘sound’ exotic…..he really is…….. He’s also a particularly nasty tenant to let your gut out to. Not only does he never pay rent, he’s a complete pain in the guts, especially if you eat anything he doesn’t like. And if you don’t learn your lesson and quite eating what he don’t like? Well he can make your body become very allergic to it. Sounds horrible cause it is. But, no problem at all if you simply cook ya kangkonglong……BTW, this is why kangkong is most often incorporated into soups…enjoy ☺
I’ve never tried this veggie, but it looks like a tasty way to eat some greens!

Kangkong can only be found in Asia shops in Austria. My mum cooks it similar and I love this dish, especially to meat!

This sounds sensational and quite satisfying!
I prefer it with udang kering (dried prawns) or just boil lightly and eat it with sambal belacan (dried prawn paste dip) – we call that ulam.
