Ingredients
- 1 pound Water spinach
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon ginger grated
- 5 cloves garlic sliced
- 2 tablespoons vegetarian oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar or coconut sugar, or palm sugar
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
Optional Garnishes:
- cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon fried shallots
- Sliced bird’s eye chilies
Instructions
- Trim the tough ends from the water spinach and cut the stems and leaves into 3-inch (8 cm) pieces.
- Rinse the greens under cold running water and drain them in a colander or wire mesh strainer.
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. After 90 seconds when the oil is hot, add the ginger and garlic, stirring frequently for 3-4 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
- Add the water spinach to the pan and stir-fry over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until the leaves wilt and the stems become tender.
- In a small bowl, mix the vegetarian oyster sauce, sugar, lime juice, white pepper, and salt.
- Pour the mixture over the water spinach and stir well, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until evenly coated.
- Transfer to an attractive serving dish and garnish with cilantro, fried shallots, and sliced chilies, if using.

Notes
- 🔥 Wok Hard, Play Hard:
- 🔥
- Stir-frying is all about speed and heat. Keep that flame high so your water spinach stays crisp and vibrant instead of turning into a sad, soggy mess.
- 💦 Leaf the Water Behind:
- 💦
- Water spinach holds onto moisture like an ex who won’t let go. Shake off excess water and pat it dry with a clean towel—otherwise, you’re steaming, not stir-frying.
