Fast and easy recipe with just a few ingredients. That`s this Indonesian recipe with water spinach, I learned from Mario from Jawa. If you are sorry, there are no chilies in the recipe, feel free to add as many as you like ;) Locals do both versions spicy and not spicy too.

Process

Fry shallots and garlic in oil on a high heat about 5 minutes till they shrink a bit. They should be submarged in the oil. Drain.

Crush garlic, shallots and galangal in a mortar or in a blender coarsely.

Clean water spinach. Remove hard stalks. Use just young sprouts with leaves 10-15 cm long.

Heat up oil, 5 tbs approximately, fry garlic, shallots and ginger first. In about a minute add salt, sugar, MSG, chicken powder and stir. Add water spinach. Stir constantly about 5 minutes.

Drain, garnish with sliced red peppers and serve with rice and other Indonesian dishes.

The same process you can use with other kinds of vegetables, for instance green beans.
