Vietnamese Name: Rau muống xào tỏi,
English Name: Stir-fried Water Spinach with Garlic,
Also known as water convolvulus, swamp cabbage, or swamp morning glory in English, and rau muong (Vietnam), bongz (Laos), and trakuon (Cambodia), this leafy green vegetable is abundant in Southeast Asia. Prized for being versatile, flavorful, nutritious and well-textured, it has tender, narrow and pointy leaves with crunchy, hollow stalks. Water spinach can be added whole to soups or to stir-fries such as this one where it is seasoned with fish-sauce, garlic and a pinch of sugar. Thought of as a wonderful embodiment of the ancient Chinese philosophy of yin and yang (balanced opposites), it combines tender and crunchy textures in each bite!
