I like to use asparagus instead when I don't have morning glory.

Sorry I forgot to mention in my previous post. If you can't get Thai Morning Glory (water spinach) like me, Bok Choy is a decent substitute. Just steam it first a few minutes to tenderize and thoroughly drain in colander before stir frying and finishing the nice recipe

I liked this wonderful dish visiting Thailand so much I brought seeds home to grow my own. Little did I know: Illegal to possess, grow, or sell in Florida.

"Water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica) is listed both as a federal noxious weed and a Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) Class I prohibited aquatic plant. Water spinach may be cultured in a nursery regulated by FDACS for the purpose of export outside of Florida only."
Now I understand why because I learned it is highly invasive to waterways and grows 4 inches per day.

I just got back from Thailand last week and had a craving for the pak boong fai dang that I enjoyed on my trip. I tried this recipe, and it turned out great!

I made a batch for my neighbor and my father-in-law. Both of them loved it. My father-in-law said it’s even better than what he gets at the restaurants back at home in Bangkok. Highly recommended!

Amazing dish right here. It actually cooks in about 30 seconds - and doesn't take long to prep either! For the first (and only) time in the world of HTK you can actually prep and cook the entire dish faster than Pailin's video run time on it. Makes you feel like an absolute beast! And it tastes great too, so win-win. Another rarity - I find Pailin actually under does the garlic quantity (I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

As an aside, this recipe is great for using up your Tao Jiew if you are forced into buying the 750ml size bottles of the stuff like I am. grrrrrrrr

Water spinach(called morning glory) fits to most Thai dishes.
Easy to make but very yummy.
But be carefull! If the Wok with oil is too hot and the spinach too wet, you can get a fireball in your Wok.(Only if you cook in a gas Wok burner)
