Stir-Fried Morning Glory Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 bunch of morning glory, aka water spinach, cut into 2-inch lengths, about 6 cups
• 5 garlic cloves minced
• 2-3 Thai chili peppers, depending on spice preference, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1.5 tsp Thai yellow soybean sauce
• 2 tsp fish sauce
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1/4 cup water or chicken broth

Steps

1. 1

   Mix the oyster sauce, yellow bean sauce, fish sauce and sugar in a bowl. It’s important to have all the sauces pre-mixed, so you can put them all in at once since stir-frying the morning glory is super fast.

2. 2

   Warm a few tablespoons of cooking oil in a wok over high heat.

3. 3

   Once it’s smoking, add garlic to the wok and remove the wok from the burner to make sure the garlic doesn’t burn, and stir-fry the garlic.

4. 4

   Once the garlic is toasted and fragrant, after less than a minute, place it back on the burner.

5. 5

   Add the morning glory, chili pepper and sauces you’ve pre-mixed to the hot pan all at once.

6. 6

   Quickly stir-fry constantly until water spinach shrinks down, should only take a minute or so, adding water or broth if it looks dry, until the leaves are wilted and the stems are crispy tender.

7. 7

   Turn off the heat and serve alongside other amazing Thai dishes and jasmine rice.
