Stir Fry Puay Leng

Puay Leng or Spinach is a vegetable with a good source of vitamins. Even if you didn’t know that if you grew up watching Popeye the Sailorman, you would also have some semblance of understanding that it makes you a strong seaman.

It’s the natural way to have supernatural strength and the healthier way as well. Instead of pill popping to enhance performance, why not eat spinach. Of course eating spinach raw is not very appetizing. You may try and maybe you may enjoy it. But best to cook it the way I do.

It’s easy and simple. And delicious.

Recipe

Ingredients

1 packet Puay Leng vegetables (this vegetable is commonly found in NTUC or any wet market)
1 whole bulb of Garlic (i like lots of garlic and it makes this dish flavourful)
Drizzle of Thai Fish Sauce (IMHO this is the magic ingredient)

Method
1. Wash the Puay Leng. Soak if you need but it is a rather soft vegetable so I would recommend washing only.

2. Crush the garlic whole. If you want, you may slice or chop. But I like it chunky, so I usually bruise the garlic and just fry until slightly brown and you can smell the fragrance of the garlic.

3. After that I dump the whole tray of chopped Puay Leng. No need to chop too small because the vegetable will lose its water content and reduce in size. Add the fish sauce for flavour. Moderate the saltiness. Done!

Bon Appetit!
