Baek Jong-won's Stir-fried Water Spinach

Cooking tips 💡

• Water spinach should be stir-fried quickly over high heat to maintain its crispiness and prevent it from becoming watery, so all ingredients and sauce must be perfectly prepared before cooking.
• Washing dried chili peppers can make them soggy, so wipe off only the dust with a damp kitchen towel before using.
• Add the stems, which cook slower, to the pan first, then add the leaves, which wilt quickly, later to ensure even cooking.
• Adding ingredients after heating the oil until it slightly smokes will recreate the authentic smoky flavor of Southeast Asian cuisine.
