Savory Water Spinach Stir-Fry with Egg and Chilies

This delightful Kangkung with Onion and Egg Stir-Fry is a quick and tasty dish, perfect for those busy days when you want something nutritious and flavorful. Kangkung, also known as water spinach, is paired with a simple seasoning of onions, garlic, and chilies, all brought together with scrambled eggs.

Ingredients:

• 2 bunches of kangkung (water spinach)
• 1 egg, beaten
• Salt, to taste
• Cooking oil, for sautéing
• 2 shallots, finely sliced
• 1 clove garlic, finely sliced
• 1 green chili, sliced
• 1 red chili, sliced

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Kangkung:

   • Trim the roots off the kangkung and cut the stems and leaves into bite-sized pieces. (I prefer cutting them into smaller pieces to avoid them getting stuck.)

2. Wash the Kangkung:

   • Rinse the kangkung thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit.

3. Sauté the Aromatics:

   • Heat a generous amount of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the finely sliced shallots, garlic, green chili, and red chili. Sauté until fragrant and the shallots are translucent.

4. Scramble the Egg:

   • Push the aromatic mixture to one side of the pan and pour in the beaten egg. Scramble the egg until it is cooked through, then mix it with the sautéed aromatics.

5. Add the Kangkung:

   • Add the kangkung to the pan and stir well to combine all ingredients. Season with salt to taste.

6. Cook the Kangkung:

   • Continue to stir and cook until the kangkung is wilted but still retains some crunch. Avoid overcooking to maintain a pleasant texture.

7. Serve:

   • Transfer the dish to a serving plate and enjoy it while it’s still warm.

This Kangkung with Onion and Egg Stir-Fry is not only delicious but also quick to make, making it an excellent addition to your repertoire of easy-to-prepare meals. Enjoy the vibrant flavors and the satisfying crunch of the kangkung in every bite!
