Seeing as how spinach prices have slightly risen, here's an alternative that is equally delicious and very easy to prepare. Cheaper too.

| Chinese Kangkong |
The chinese kangkong belongs to the spinach family and is actually also called the water spinach. It looks exactly like our native kangkong, except the stems are slightly shorter and they sport roots.
Chinese Kangkong Stir FrySaute garlic in olive oil in a hot wok. When garlic has turned golden, add kangkong into the wok and add a bit of water (2-3 tbsp). Season with salt. When kangkong leaves have turned dark brown, remove from wok and serve hot.
All you need:
1/2 kg chinese kangkong (properly washed, stems cut, roots removed)
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
olive oil
salt
The chinese kangkong contains only 30 calories per serving, so eat to your heart's content! Some add a few drops of sesame oil to the dish for seasoning, but use sparingly. There are 14 grams of fat in every 1-tbsp of sesame oil. In our opinion, do without it.
