Most Vietnamese dishes are served family-style and need some kind of veggie side dish. Rau Muống Xào Tỏi, Stir-fried water spinach and garlic, is always the perfect side dish to balance out savory braised meats and add wonderful texture to complete the family-style meal. I love that the stems have a bit of crunch and the leafy part is super tender. Water spinach is commonly found and cheapest during spring and summer. You can find these super green and leafy veggies sold in a big bunch at Asian grocery stores. No Limit Tip: I like adding smashed garlic and oil to a cold pan before heating it up over medium-high heat. This allows the garlic to heat up and not burn too quickly. Ingredients: 1 bunch water spinach, rinsed, cut into bite-sized pieces 10-12 garlic cloves, smashed 1 teaspoon salt, more or less to taste ½ teaspoon sugar ¼ teaspoon black pepper 3 tablespoons neutral oil #nolimitcooking #vietnamesefood #sidedish #comgiadinh #vietnamesecomfortfood #comfortfood #raumuốngxào #raumuongxaotoi #raumuống
