| Water Spinach (tung choi)!!!!!!
I finally found out what it's called in English just now!
I f'cking love this stuff; it's my favourite vegetable. Simply sauteed with garlic, chili peppers and a bit of ginger is the best.
Any other fans of 'tung choi' here? Do you prefer the stems or leaves?   |

Nope, watercress is something entirely different. Here is the Tung Choi reference from Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipomoea_aquatica
I love this stuff ... my favorite way is to sauteed it with Belacan.

We eat this a lot because it's so cheap (2 huge bags for like $0.50 at the market) but I really don't like the texture of the stems. I do like the leaves though.

I like more stems:leaves ratio; I find the leaves soak up too much of the sauce and gets too salty.
I kinda like that squeaky/crunchy texture of the stems.
Are they in season year-round? My parents only get them every so often, I never bother checking.

Is this the same as the "Tung Ho" green vegetable or whatever? The green vegetable I like the most is hands down "Oung Choy" with shrimp paste.

i love this stuff!
either with preserved salty tofu
or with shrimp paste. the stems are THE BEST when fresh, cuz they stay crunchy.
hmm... makes me think of a new thread topic...
