Stir fry water spinach with shrimp paste a.k.a Tumis kangkung belacan

"Easy peasy lemon squeezy" are the right words to describe this stir fry. You could make many variations with it by adding shrimp paste or perhaps you want it a little bit spicy, add scallop or salted dried tiny silver anchovies to the stir fry. If you like to do experiments, I believe it's about time !

Aside that this stir fry is quick preparation and cooking time needed, it also doesn't need too many ingredients. So, stir fry water spinach is one of many simple stir fry I'll make when I only have limited time to feed my hubby and my son. Best serve with warm rice, sambal terasi and deep fried tempe. Indonesian style... !!
