Kangkong With Tau Cheong

I'll post something other than ice pops today. I cooked this dish, snapped a picture of it and post it up on my FB. My friend thought it was cooked with sambal. Instead of sambal I used tau cheong (salted bean paste). So I thought I will share this recipe here for those who always thought kangkong only goes with sambal belachan.


Ingredients :-

  • 300g kangkong
  • 30g dried prawns, soak in water till soft
  • 1 tsp chopped garlic
  • 1 tbsp tau cheong
  • 1/2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp Shaoxing wine

Method :-
  1. Rinse and cut the kangkong in to sections, drain well.
  2. Heat oil in wok, saute garlic, dried prawns and taucheong until fragrant.
  3. Add the kangkong and seasoning.
  4. Stir fry quickly over high heat until cooked and well combined.
  5. Dish up and serve hot.
Catered to the non chilli eating folks. Enjoy...
