TUMIS KANGKUNG UDANG (or stir-fried water spinach, with shrimp)

 Tumis kangkung, or stir-fried water spinach, with shrimp (udang) is a delicious and nutritious dish commonly found in Southeast Asian cuisine. Here's a recipe for making tumis kangkung mix udang:


Ingredients:

  • 300g water spinach (kangkung), washed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 200g shrimp (udang), peeled and deveined
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 shallots, thinly sliced
  • 2-3 bird's eye chilies (optional), thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions or cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Wash the water spinach thoroughly and cut it into 2-inch pieces. Peel and devein the shrimp if not already done.

  2. Heat the Oil: In a wok or large frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat.

  3. Sauté Aromatics: Add the minced garlic, sliced shallots, and bird's eye chilies (if using) to the hot oil. Stir-fry until fragrant and the shallots are translucent, about 1-2 minutes.

  4. Add Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the wok. Stir-fry until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. Add Water Spinach: Add the cut water spinach to the wok. Stir-fry continuously for about 2-3 minutes until the water spinach is wilted but still vibrant green.

  6. Seasoning: Add the oyster sauce, soy sauce, and fish sauce (if using) to the wok. Stir well to combine and coat the shrimp and water spinach evenly with the sauces. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.

  7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary. Be careful with the salt as soy sauce and oyster sauce already contain salt.

  8. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the tumis kangkung mix udang to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro if desired. Serve hot as a side dish or as part of a larger meal with rice or noodles.

Tips:

  • Water spinach cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. It should be wilted but still retain some crunchiness.
  • You can adjust the spiciness of the dish by varying the amount of bird's eye chilies or omitting them altogether.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables such as sliced bell peppers or carrots for added flavor and texture.

Enjoy your homemade tumis kangkung mix udang!
