Does anyone have any good recipes for water spinach or hollow spinach?

Question

In Asia it is known more widely as 'kangkong'. Please give me your thoughts on water spinach.Thank you!!

Hi supersweet, sheesh I asked the question just a few secs before that news broke out! Great timing hey? I did read the article but it refers to bagged spinach eaten raw, the fertlizer used is probably infected with animal manure so not surprised the spinach is affected. Has any veggies can soak up the bacteria after the soil has been watered. Also the spinach I get is directly fresh from a farm ( not packet) and I never eat it raw, only cooked.

sorry typo there

Answer 1

yes try this

Water Spinach

Ingredients
1 bunch water spinach, or 2 bunches regular spinach
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon brown bean sauce
1 tablespoon palm sugar or brown sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons chopped garlic

Directions
Clean spinach in several changes of cold water and drain well. If using
water spinach, trim and discard the bottom 2 inches of the woody ends. Cut remaining stems into 2
inch lengths and place in a bowl. Cut leafy top portions into 2 inch lengths and place in another
bowl. If using regular spinach, trim and discard stems. Set aside.

Combine fish sauce, bean sauce, and palm sugar in a small bowl and set aside.

Heat oil in a wok, swirling to coat the surface, add the garlic and stir-fry for 10 seconds. Add the
spinach stems, if using water spinach, toss to combine with the garlic and cook 1 minute. Add
reserved fish sauce mixture, toss to combine with the garlic, and add leafy portions of water
spinach, or all of regular spinach. Toss spinach quickly until it begins to wilt, then transfer to a
serving platter. Serve warm.

WASHINGTON - Federal health officials worked Friday to find the source of a multistate E. coli outbreak and warned consumers that even washing the suspect spinach won't kill the sometimes deadly bacteria.

One person died and dozens of others were sickened in the eight-state outbreak, linked by Food and Drug Administration officials to bagged spinach.

"We need to strive to do even better so even one life is not lost," said Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach, FDA's acting commissioner.

The FDA warned people not to eat bagged spinach and said washing it wouldn't solve the problem because the bacteria is too tightly attached
