Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Water spinach (kangkung)
- 5 small Shallots
- 4 medium Garlic cloves
- 2 large Red chili
- 1 tablespoon Vegan oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Coconut sugar
- 50 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (such as coconut or vegetable oil)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Wash the water spinach thoroughly to remove any dirt. Trim the tough stems, keeping only the tender stems and leaves. Set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the shallots and garlic.
Slice the red chilies diagonally into thin pieces. For less heat, deseed the chilies before slicing.
Heat the cooking oil in a large wok or skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced shallots, garlic, and chilies to the wok. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the water spinach to the wok. Toss gently to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated with the aromatic mixture.
Pour in the vegan oyster sauce, soy sauce, and coconut sugar. Stir well to combine.
Add the water and salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the water spinach is tender and slightly wilted.
Turn off the heat and transfer the Vegan Tumis Kangkung to a serving dish.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or as part of a larger Indonesian-inspired meal. Enjoy!
