Ingredients:
- 4 bunches of kangkung (water spinach), cleaned and trimmed
- 100 grams of beef, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch, dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 red chilies, sliced
- 1 tomato, chopped
- Cooking oil, as needed
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by gathering and preparing all the ingredients. Clean and trim the kangkung, slice the beef thinly, and mince the garlic. Slice the red chilies and chop the tomato.
-
Sauté the Aromatics: Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced red chilies. Stir-fry until the garlic becomes fragrant and the chilies begin to soften.
-
Cook the Beef: Add the sliced beef to the wok. Stir-fry until the beef changes color and is cooked through.
-
Add the Tomato: Incorporate the chopped tomato into the mixture. Stir well and allow it to cook for a couple of minutes, until the tomato starts to soften.
-
Stir in the Kangkung: Add the cleaned kangkung to the wok. Stir-fry until the kangkung is partially wilted.
-
Season the Dish: Add salt, oyster sauce, and black pepper to the wok. Mix well to ensure the kangkung is evenly coated with the seasoning.
-
Add Water and Thicken: Pour in a small amount of water, just enough to create a light sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer briefly. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until the sauce thickens.
-
Serve: Once the sauce has thickened and the kangkung is tender but still vibrant, remove from heat. Serve immediately as a delicious side dish or main course.
