Thai Morning Glory

  • Author: caroline
  • Total Time: 9 minutes

Description

Simple, quick and totally delicious. This Thai morning glory is a great side dish for an East Asian curry or noodle dish and takes literally minutes to cook!

The default recipe serves one.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 50g / 1.7oz morning glory
  • 2 tsp canola or vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
  • 1 red chilli, whole with a small slit cut into the side
  • 1 tsp oyster sauce
  • 1 tsp soybean paste
  • 0.5 tsp soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare all the ingredients before you start to think about cooking. This dish cooks super fast so you want to be ready! 
  2. Wash and drain the morning glory place on a chopping board. Cut it into pieces around 2 inches / 5cm long. When you reach the leafy parts you can make these a little longer as the leaves will wilt down a lot. 
  3. Place the morning glory on a plate and, this is the fun part, dollop the soy sauce, oyster sauce and soybean paste right on top of the leaves. You’ll add them all into the pan at the same time. 
  4. Heat the oil in a wok over a high heat. When hot add the garlic and chilli and cook for around 30 seconds until starting to brown. You don’t want to burn the garlic so check a couple of pieces in the pan before adding to make sure the oil isn’t too hot that it sizzles into burnt black pieces! 
  5. Tip the morning glory and the sauces into the wok all together and toss everything together. Cook for around 3 minutes, regularly tossing, until the leaves have wilted down and the stalks softened a little. Use kitchen tongues to turn the ingredients if your wok tossing skills aren’t great.
  6. Serve on a plate and drizzle over any of the juices left in the bottom fo the wok. 

Notes

  • If you can’t find soybean paste then use extra soy sauce instead. The taste won’t be as authentic but it’s still delicious! 
  • You can mince the garlic instead of finely chopping, but it will require less time in the pan before you add the morning glory.
