Adobong Kangkong (Water Spinach)
A simple and flavorful Filipino side dish of water spinach cooked in adobo sauce.
Ingredients
- about 450 g Water Spinach (Kangkong)
- 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
- 2 tbsp White Vinegar
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1/2 tsp Black Peppercorns
- 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Thoroughly wash the about 450 g of Water Spinach (Kangkong) under cool running water. Shake off any excess water.
- 2Finely mince the 4 cloves Garlic and prepare the 1/2 tsp Black Peppercorns by lightly crushing them. Heat 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil in a 25.4 cm skillet over medium-high heat (about 190.6°C or 190°C).
- 3Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic and crushed black peppercorns to the skillet. Sauté for about 30-60 seconds, until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn it.
- 4Add the washed about 450 g of Water Spinach (Kangkong) to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-4 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted down significantly.
- 5Pour in the 1/4 cup Soy Sauce and 2 tbsp White Vinegar. Stir everything together to coat the spinach evenly. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly reduce and the flavors to meld.
- 6Remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the Adobong Kangkong hot.
