I love to eat kangkung belacan and so does my husband. Although it is simple and super easy to make but I always find it hard to get the taste right. Its funny how I am able to try to make a complicated dish like lasagna and yet I am a bit anxious in trying this dish.
Recently, I try to cook it my way with using only 4 ingredients. Surprisingly the taste is there and I love it! This week alone I cook Kangkung belacan twice. LOL
For the international readers, kangkung is swamp cabbage. I am not sure if it grows in overseas. When I studied in Australia, I did not see this vegetable in any of the grocery stores. Well, you can try using Pak Choy instead.
Best to eat them with white rice and fried chicken! YUMS
