Tumis Kangkung

I recently learned how to make an Indonesian vegetable dish called Tumis Kangkung.  Kangkung is otherwise known as water spinach.  It is an Asian green leafy vegetable.  DH first encountered Kangkung while living in Malaysia and he loves the stuff.  He really liked the Tumis Kangkung after he tried it.  I liked it too.  Unfortunately, my kids are not fond of any leafy green vegetable.

Tumis Kangkung

250 g Kangkung
100 g bean sprouts
3 cloves of garlic
2 red shallots
2 red chilies
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. chicken powder (Knorr)
3 tbsp. oil

Cut the Kankung into smaller sections.  Chop the cloves of garlic, shallots, and chilies. Heat oil in pan and stir fry garlic, shallots, and chilies.  Add Kangkung and bean sprouts.  Stir fry for a few minutes until Kangkung is wilted.  Add salt and chicken powder. Continue to stir fry until vegetables are fully cooked. 

I didn't realize that the kangkung really shrinks down once it is cooked. I would probably recommend using 500 g of kangkung if you want to feed more than a couple of people. Other than that, we really liked this dish.
