Ingredients

2 bunch kang kong (water spinach)

2 tablespoon peanut oil

4 clove garlic, finely chopped

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1 tablespoon fish sauce

1 long red chilli, thinly sliced

Method

1.Bring a large saucepan of salted water to boil on high heat. Add kang kong and cook for 2 mins, until wilted. Drain and refresh under cold water. Drain well.

2.Heat oil in a wok or frying pan on high. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add kang kong and stir-fry for 1 minute, until combined. Add oyster and fish sauces and toss to coat. Scatter with chilli and serve.

Kang kong, or water spinach, is available from Asian grocery stores. It is unrelated to spinach but tastes similar. You can use 4 bunches of English spinach instead. Blanching the kang kong before stir-frying helps retain its vibrant green colour, and also makes the stalks less tough.
