Kangkung Belacan

Salut,

I've not eating kangkung belacan as often as before when I was working in Laos. Kangkung belacan or stir fried water spinach with shrimp paste quite popular vegetables dish in Asia and for other country like in Indochina, they called it morning glory. This Asian vegetables sometimes available in Asian grocery store and when they have this water spinach and they are looks fresh, I'm sure will get one. It was a big bunch of kangkung when I bought last week and I cooked it two times because we are just two at home. What a great meal we had, simple stir fried morning glory with rice, just like in the good old days.
