Steps:

• Peel and quarter the onion, peel the garlic and roughly chop the chillies (in 2-3 pieces).

• Add the kangkung stalks, stir, then add the water. Mix again and leave to cook for 2 minutes.
• Now add the kangkung leaves, give it a quick stir just to let the leaves wilt. You don't want to cook it for more than 30-60 seconds. Take it off the heat.Like spinach, kangkung cooks quickly and is best eaten with a slight crunch as is true for all vegetables!
• Check seasoning and stir in the salt if you want it saltier (the shrimp paste and dried prawns are salty ingredients). Serve immediately.
