Hi culinary friends, as usual, today I will cook a dish that can be said to be very simple, food that tastes like it comes from the village, what else if not water spinach, I often cook this vegetable at home, because in my opinion, water spinach is a very delicious vegetable no matter how you cook it.

and today I will cook wilted kale in a different way than usual

Usually I saute water spinach with lots of chilies, onions and tomatoes, but today, I only use one spice ingredient, namely garlic, like sauteed water spinach with garlic, but the taste is no less delicious than other dishes with chilies.

This dish was inspired by a food stall in my village, there they serve Chinese stir-fried water spinach, why is it called Chinese stir-fried according to the story from the stall owner because the only ingredient is garlic and garlic is a spice that is widely eaten by Chinese people hahaha it's a bit strange but I don't know if it's true or not
