THAI VEGGIES

What we usually order in Thai restaurants is Morning Glory (Gang-Gong) in garlic, in shrimp paste, in sambal aka chili paste or in fermented tofu with julienne of red chili, the Cantonese rendition.

At Patara we had two veggies, common here but not that common in Hong Kong and they are : Garden Sweet on the left, and next to it Moon Flower ... fresh, unique in flavors, crispy in texture and a wonderful complement to Thai spices and seasoning sauces.

My mission is to source them in Hong Kong.  Simply stir fry them and off you go ... these fabulous veggies will go so well with anything on a Cantonese menu, notably a bowl of hot steamed rice!
