That would be wonderful. It's really one of the most popular vegetables in the region here. We can go crazy about it.

Thanks for commenting, mjskit:) I would do the same to hunt down kangkong too if I lived outside of Southeast Asia. So wishing you success in your search. The vegetable is high in nutrients and iron too. Of course, we should not overeat it, but it's hard to resist.

I know your adobong style kangkong is going to be a hit with some pork lovers. So gotta introduce it:)

It's Mark's favorite too. He says he is going to hunt it down when we move back to the US.

You've got it exactly right, Arudhi. The Chinese name for kangkong is also written in the similar way - 空心菜. Suppose Japanese borrowed that from the Chinese character. I like the literal translation - empty heart:) I can imagine how expensive it is in Japan! It must be a real treat for you when summer comes.

What a delicious looking delicious! I'm going to have to hunt out kangkong here. I saw it over at Ray's and now here and it's gorgeous and looks like it makes a very tasty and healthy dish! Beautiful pictures!

Very appetizing! I think that we can find that vegetable here (in Asian supermarkets)... Will have to see.

Cheers,

Thank you for featuring the adobong kangkong, Reese! Your sambal kangkong is making me hungry imagining the crunchy bite on the kangkong stems. Beautiful photos especially the fresh kangkong.

Love it, kangkong is one of my favorite vegetable. Coupled with sambal, I'm sure it's incredibly delicious. Looking at the photos is making me hungry. Have to try this on the weekend, thanks Reese

OMG, I miss kangkung sooo much! I can easily overeat with the sambal kangkung.
Kangkung is only available here during summer and unbelievably expensive. The Chinese name you put there reminds me of the Japanese version: 空芯菜　(vegetable with hollowed core, hopefully I interpret it right) and this name really sticks on my mind as that`s what kangkung is.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful treat!
