Spicy Water Spinach
- 1 bunch water spinach (ong choy, water morning glory)
- 4-5 cloves garlic
- 4-5 Thai peppers (or bird peppers)
- 1 tablespoon Chili Shrimp Paste (garlic, black bean, sugar, shrimp paste, soy oil) OR a mixture of 1 Tablespoon black bean sauce + 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons grape seed oil
- Crush the garlic and lightly smash the chili peppers (do not cut or grind)
- Wash and cut the water spinach into three inch long pieces.
- Heat up the grape seed oil in a wok and add the garlic and chili peppers. (Medium heat)
- Stir around and add the chili shrimp paste (or black bean sauce + sugar)
- Dump the water spinach in and stir fry, rotating the spinach to coat with the sauce and cook for about 3 minutes. You don't need to add water or broth, as the spinach tends to give off a lot of liquid.
- Add fish sauce.
- Mix together and take the spinach off the burner.
