It seems like it's been a long time since I've had something spicy and addictive like this, so today I really miss enjoying this kind of village food. Well, in the village, often food or vegetables are simply boiled and then made into a chili sauce, either shrimp paste chili sauce or onion chili sauce like I did today. I don't know what kind of chili sauce I'm making, but it's definitely not shrimp paste chili sauce, because here I don't use shrimp paste. ![IMG_20251230_134909.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ryanaa/23wMgkbZKa8MBBoCkcQGz7HgxzSd8Xbmsdw79hBB7fV6t8p9cLg6YimCBgh2762Rew3o3.jpg) It just so happened that I had a lot of water spinach at home, so I decided to make a kangkung plecin, this kangkung plecin was inspired by my husband's relative's village. I once went there and was served this dish by my husband's relative's family there, and I really enjoyed eating food like this, it really reminded me of when I was there. Water spinach is really delicious when made into any kind of vegetable, because water spinach is really popular among our people, especially in Indonesia, water spinach is really abundant, isn't it, with a very cheap price. ![IMG_20251230_134950.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ryanaa/23xAeVX2dcDc73AFbtgKbGmJDQUSyBRMCidBdfm93G9UnwCLTa1KfVxFDkD2m7jvnxxeB.jpg) So, if you like water spinach and are confused about how to cook it, you can make this water spinach salad. If you are curious about the manufacturing process, just follow the steps that I will share in my post today. *** ### Materials used ### *** ![IMG20251230115745.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ryanaa/23uFVbWoezMJtTgTDVtFghEHRqgr4z8uhqXFvqR3niFStkRv7GynTYNRefxgU7QG4VpXU.jpg) *** 1 bunch of kale 6 cloves of garlic 6 red chilies 4 green chilies 5 bird's eye chilies 1 tomato 1/2 tbsp salt 1/2 lime *** ### Manufacturing procedure ### *** **First** *** First I heat the water until it boils, after that I put in the water spinach, I cook it until the water spinach wilts, then I remove it and drain it. |![20251230114945.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ryanaa/EopsU7RZLmtbdmq1w4AAPyjFJDdYUpL4J6dKYgmHsVFLCPvv9vcri7vGwmmqypPQq5z.jpg)|![20251230114958.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ryanaa/Eou7oKPsQnty77RZwVB4ybzxfpEhX41vnA8qkU3gNzGeg5JKTS9KgeH2DDtM6qpha2L.jpg) |-|-| |![20251230115037.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ryanaa/Eokc8ji7ihMzaVPK4JR2ugxmQoZcGWyfCUXGdgsMGKtpNxtTYGHqnvzKAMHqCsKw2RG.jpg)|![20251230115346.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/ryanaa/EogMsMWTsmjuMEwGr5bvNGXdLLnfFfs3vbTmAAyvGj93K7qCZYXtdfaCF6JUWY3kevy.jpg) |-|-| *** **Second** *** After that, I also boiled the onions, chilies and tomatoes.
