Stir Fried Kangkung Terasi

This recipe is from Mama Miyaki again. This dish perfectly complements the chicken karagi from my last post. I met water spinach for the first time in Cambodia. After cooking with it once I was hooked. It became a regular vegetable in my kitchen (is it a veg.? It looks more like green leaves to me..??). You could buy it all year round in the markets in Siem Reap. I loved the freshness and feeling of this super healthy food (do I think ‘healthy’ because we are brought up thinking ‘spinach’ is super healthy?)

Anyway, here are these luscious green leaves in their full splendour!

Chicken Karage

Here’s a dish – actually it’s two dishes for which I have the recipes from one of my favourite foodie bloggers.

Mama Miyuki from Indonesia has a lovely food blog that I often browse through and lick my lips. I love Indonesian Food!! Her blog is full of delightful, mouthwatering recipes many of which have been passed down through the family. A whole new exciting culinary world for me to discover.

This is Chicken Karage. It’s actually a Japanese dish.   I of course added a couple of twists to the original recipe. Perfect in combination with kangkung cah terasi/kangkung belacan, stir fried water spinach with shrimp paste.

Fried Cambodian Straw Mushrooms with Coconut Cream Sauce

This is a dish I made yesterday morning after a zombied insomniac night! You can see the ingredients I used!
