Kangkung, water spinach, water convolvulus

Stir Fried Kangkong with Fermented Bean Curd Cubes (腐乳炒通菜)

Posted on April 25, 2013December 28, 2022 by PatriCa BB 雪冰

Kangkung, water spinach, water convolvulus
“Kangkong, in a ‘Hong Kong’ way”

While Sambal Belacan Kangkong is a popular vegetable dish in Singapore and Malaysia, this Kangkong with fermented bean curd is pretty common in Hong Kong.

As you know, I am a die hard fan of Hong Kong (and its food!), I will not miss eating and cooking some of these signature Hong Kong household dishes by my own.

If you like Kangkong, but already bored with Sambal Belacan or plain garlic stir fry, try this now. Simple, fuss-free.

Ingredients
300g of Kangkong vegetables (a.k.a water spinach or water convolvulus), trimmed roots, washed and cut
3 cubes of fermented bean curd
3 cloves of garlic, minced

Small pinch of salt and sugar
1 tablespoon of oil

Optional
2 bird eye chilies, julienned

Method
1) Heat oil in wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic (and chili, if opt for), and stir fry till fragrant.

2) Add fermented bean curd. Lightly mash in the wok. Add Kangkong, stir fry to combine and cook till soften.

3) Sprinkle salt and sugar. Stir fry for another 1 min before heat off. Dish up and serve.

A serving of my Kangkong dish counts less than 150kcal.

Tips: For vegetarian cooking, omit garlic. The off-the-shelves fermented bean curd is mostly suitable for vegetarian

One of my go-to dining places when I need a quiet One of my go-to dining places when I need a quiet and relaxing (with live piano performance) dinner on a week night if I am in KL. #colonialcafe at The Majestic Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. 

Serving not just the Western, but Hainanese cuisine. Loved their dinner rolls (but not the butter), too. 

Averagely RM150 per pax for a 2-course (shared appetizer and main course) and coffee/ chilled drink.

Just came across a random IG post this morning saying that “woman over 40, can never looked as young and as energetic as young girls no matter how well she took care of herself”…… In the first place, why should women over their 40s, to take care of themselves and their appearance, is to compare with young girls…. Why only women over 40 need to be taught by him (a guy at his 20s or so) that these women should and should not do certain things in their life…. Why only women over 40s….. Speechless. Period. #happymothersdaytoall
