Tempered Kankun

Kankun, also known as water spinach, is popular in Asian cooking. It’s usually served lightly cooked as a side dish, but spiced up with dried chili flakes and tomato wedges. A popular accompaniment with this is the sun-dried salted fish curry and pepper-seasoned creamy jackfruit curry
Ingredients
1. 1 bunch of water spinach, washed and roughly chopped
2. 1 – 2 large tomatoes cut into wedges
3. 1 – 2 large onions, sliced
4. 3 – 4 green chilies, sliced, and if desired deseeded
5. 2 tsp dried chili flakes
6. 2 tbsp large maldive fish flakes
7. 1 tbsp oil for tempering
8. Salt to taste
Serves 6

Method

1. Heat the oil and add the onions, green chilies and temper
2. Add maldive fish flakes, salt and the chili flakes. Add tomatoes and continue to temper until the tomato softens and incorporates into the mixture
3. Add the leaves and quickly toss until softened
 
Chef’s note:
The quantity of the leaves would reduce drastically when tempered
