Hello all! I have now been in China for just over a week and after our weekend trip to Hong Kong, I am now getting back into my routine of cooking again. So today, I am going to share a very simple recipe of stir fried Kangkung, which is a cheap and tasty vegetable that I’ve always loved as a kid! 
Ingredients
- A bunch of Kangkung (washed & drained)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 dried chilli (chopped)
- 3 cloves of garlic (cut width wise)
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
Method
- In a hot wok, add the sesame oil and throw in the garlic & chillies and stir fry for half a minute.
- Throw in the Kangkung, add into it the fish sauce, a little water and let it cook thoroughly. (for a vegan version, instead of using fish sauce, you can use light soy sauce or salt to taste)
Serve hot on it’s own or with boiled white rice. Enjoy!
Here are a few shots I took of Hong Kong and Lantau Island from our trip last weekend. From where we are in China, it took 3hrs on a coach (time included at 2 immigration controls). Not bad for about 16 Euros each way per person.
We stayed at the beautiful Harbour Plaza Metropolis Hotel which overlooked the Hong Kong skyline.

I have to say, I was a bit overwhelmed in Hong Kong as it was extremely busy but all in all, an experience to be remembered.
Have a fab weekend ahead!💛
Beautiful photos of the busy Hong Kong city. It’s like the city never sleeps and you can get food anywhere at night. Thank you for this kangkung recipe. It’s one of my favourite veggies and it’s so simple to make. Glad to hear you’re settling in well 🙂
Thanks Mabel! I love Kangkung! Didn’t get it when I was living in Spain so I’m overloading myself with it here. Still feeling my way around but it’s a blessing to have been to primary school in Singapore and having Chinese classmates, I’m picking up certain words already. 😊
HK is such am amazing city but very full on – looks like you enjoyed it!
Very full on indeed! I could not live there! Even though I now live in a city of 8 million here in China, it’s all very spread out so you don’t feel it at all.
Hi honey, lovely to see what you’re seeing 🙂 and great that you are still able to access all of your social media xxx
Hi Elaine! Yes well worth having the VPN app to access facebook, Instagram and even Google!! 😘
Beautiful pictures of Hong Kong; I’m glad you enjoyed your new life. Hugs! 🙂
Thank you Linda. I’m still slowly adjusting. Especially with the heat & intense humidity! 😘
Looks so good! Can I just do this with bok choy? I don’t think we get kangkung here
Thank you Sarah! Yes of course! I used to do it with bok choy and also sometimes with cabbage too as I didn’t get kangkung in Spain.😊
