Recipes with Water spinach
3 recipes
There are 3 recipes here that use Water spinach, and every one of them is scored against what is actually in your fridge before it is shown. The quickest is Garlic Water Spinach at 8 minutes; the longest, Lombok-Style Water Spinach, takes 20. 3 of them finish in twenty minutes or less, which is usually what matters on a weeknight.
None of these need an oven, an air fryer, or a microwave — a stove and a pan is enough. 1 are vegetarian. 2 are properly spicy.
Water spinach turns up most often alongside Shrimp paste, Tomato, Red chili and Palm sugar — if you have one or two of those as well, more of this list becomes cookable tonight rather than after a shopping trip. Add what you have to your fridge and the recipes reorder themselves around it, with anything missing collected into a shopping list.
