But if you want to ask me, please get in touch via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or my website (all links are in the description above). If you leave questions in the comments I may not see them due to the large volume of comments I receive across the hundreds of videos on this channel. Also, before sending on any questions be sure to read the written recipe on the website as I often add extra tips and notes not covered in the video. Thank you for watching!

What is the measuring for the fermented soya bean paste?

[@howardpayne4128]

I make it with spinach as the water spinach is about 5 times the price, it's my favourite Thai dish.

[@bellowman1]

Every time I go to Thailand, I get this with every meal. It is wonderful.

[@glencairncross6491]

The food is great, worth trying, but the star is Pailin. What a great personality and lovely lady people like her make the world a better place.😊

[@wpkhoman]

Omg I didn’t watch this video at first because after living abroad for 20 years I never found pak boong at the stores. But finally I found it and I’m going to cook this today! I’m so happy 🥹

[@dhearn100]

When I was in Thailand, I ordered this dish everyday. It is a must-have. Unfortunately, I've been unable to find it in any American restaurant. So glad I found you

[@earlystrings1]

Apparently, water spinach is considered an invasive aquatic weed in the US and farmers need special permit to grow it. I have honestly never seen it for sale but it looks delicious.

[@timothyt8716]

Just grow it yourself. Seeds available on Amazon. It grows like a weed! Requires a lot of water but otherwise easy peasy!

[@lemonz1769]

It’s available in every Chinese or Southeast Asian market in the US. It’s also only certain states that have restrictions on growing.

[@alevusmanzade8543]

This is my go to dish whenever i go to Thai restaurant in Malaysia… it’s cheap, it’s healthy, it’s delicious, with rice, nam prik gapi and thai omelette is a perfect meal…❤❤❤❤❤

[@RodCornholio]

I highly recommend eating this. Even someone who doesn't like vegetables might fall in love with it. It's an amazing Thai dish.

[@timothyt8716]

I grew this in North Texas this summer. Delicious! Thanks to my job, my wife and I were able to live in Bangkok for 3 years. I sooo miss the food there! Your channel helps us to recreate many of the dishes we fell in love with. Thank you so much! Your culinary skills are amazing!

[@hardlifeinparadise386]

You’re such a happy person 😊

[@renatobie]

This recipe is amazing. I have made with morning glory and also with so many different vegetables. Thank you 😊

[@ellicessamon3857]

i love this recipe of yours pauline..because we have a lot of this veg in our country phils...

[@brownstar45]

I am soo going to make this today. I have already made two dishes from you and they are absolutely delicious. Thank you for all your great dishes.

[@renatobie]

I’m making char Sui and I’ll make morning glory as side dish, I love the amount of garlic you put in 😍

[@jjhernandez5244]

One of my favorite vegetables, I need to learn how to cook this.

[@ArthursAtman]

I ate this nearly every day for 3 years in Thailand--my fav. Gonna try this recipe here state-side, thx for your help :)

[@doxy]

Just made this and it's really good! Thank you!

[@peterstang]

Nicely done, yummy, crunchy and easy to cook. One of my favourites too.

[@MsLansones]

Water spinach is oh so friggin' good!

[@bp4atl]

I could definitely watch your videos all day long ! Your cooking is awesome but you yourself is even better lol .. keep up the good work and hopefully we'll see more of you on here ..

[@sandramicheleleong8920]

In Malaysia this vegetabla we called it Kangkong Chinese Word is Kong Xing Chai空心菜. I really like the way you cook Asian Style.

[@minsungso4698]

Love your kitchen and new music! And great filming too!

[@deepsouthpanda4057]

I'm glad I found your channel... I currently live in Phuket Thailand... and I love long bean and morning glory... now I can cook it myself...

[@desobg]

That was mine request ;) Kap koon kap koon Pai . Actually it works quite well with ordinary spinach if the people can't find some morning glory like us in Europe, just needs some more cooking time

[@GiangNguyen-jd5yl]

Love your channel. Thank you so much for sharing delicious recipes

[@Kikiyayazengardens]

I love morning glory. My favourite veggie when I lived in Thailand.

[@NerdNest0]

This looks so good. I will try this recipe soon.

[@Angelique218]

I had this stir fried Morning Glory cooked this way the first time at Hua Hin. The taste was so good and tasty, far different from the way I am used to with soy sauce, vinegar and garlic. I was so impressed how good the taste was, I quickly asked the cook what were the ingredients/condiments he used. Yes, it was the fermented soy beans that gave it a distinct taste.

[@chefpashupatipaudel]

Lovely crunchy stirrfried spinach

[@s.t.8898]

Delicous. Thank you for this awesome receipe!!! Feeling to be in Thailand

[@kimberlycross5254]

This is one of my favorite dishes from my childhood. I miss it so much! It's almost impossible to find water spinach in MS where I live.

[@nourabdul]

I usually add some pounded anchovies or dried shrimps to enhance the flavour. After seeing your video, I'm craving for a plate of stir fry water spinach! Yum!

[@lottelapine]

Looks good!!! I want to make this! We make a similar dish at home with water spinach. We pound the garlic, chili and dried shrimp into a paste, stir fry with the vegetables and seasoned with fish sauce. :)

[@Freaky0Nina]

I was looking for this. I remembered eating Morning Glory^^ I simply used fresh spinach and it tasted the same for me. Thank you for helping me bring back a memory. Aloy maak, kop kun kaa.

[@NemoandStitchthecats]

Love the way you work it. No diggedy

[@phantasticinnovation]

I love eating this stir fry w beef and garlic. Oh so good with rice.

[@label5zhang290]

Great recipe! I like Thai food very much

[@feimoui]

Thanks so much for posting this !!!! I make traditional HK style Pad Pac Boong (jue si fu tong Choi) and go to Thailand very often but couldn’t quite get their version right ! This is very helpful:)

[@rimsorin8529]

Very nice. I like Water Spinach ( Glory Morning ). Thank you 👍👍

[@suchathit]

เห็นแล้วต้องรีบไปสั่งกินเลยครับ

[@chezm0th]

Best vegetable and the tastiest I've ever eaten

[@marcbeaulieu2591]

My MIL makes it exactly like this and I fell in love with it. Pailin, you are outstanding in what you do! I can now impress my Thai MIL with all my Thai cooking skills 😂

[@rachaelchench]

I love your outdoor kitchen. Can you show us around?

[@vickys5591]

Thank you I like simple and best

[@juanitabonita1384]

Thanks for the Recipe!.

[@Larryboy12345]

I had this at a Thai restaurant in Liverpool, I had mine with pork belly, it was superb. It was quite spicy to I added some sambal into the sauce, and yellow bean paste because I couldn't find anything else. You can't find Morning Glory in any regular shops here so I've used choi sum and regular spinach to make it, I thought it was a pretty good substitution

[@Rudedogbarks]

Thanks for the great recipe.

[@Carmellawellamella]

Oh my goodness thank you Pai for this recipe! This was a favorite dish while we were in Thailand! I've never seen morning glory where I live though:( but I will look for a similar vegetable to try :)

[@vicw4522]

My mom always made this with cauliflower (a little longer cook time) and sugar snap peas or bok choi like Pailin says, so don't worry... it's gonna be 99% as delicious, I promise.

[@EffieTheLuent]

Great cooking. Thanks.

[@WanAhmadLuqman]

If it was me I'd cook the stems first so that it's a bit more tender, and put the leaves last.. but that's just my preference, I like my stems a cooked..

[@AungLay-oq4ym]

Thank you very much? i very like thai food so my love thai

[@terawhite9133]

This dish looks tasty, thank you :-)

[@bellaanditsy]

I just have to tell you that your dishes have helped me soooo much... I have crones disease amoung other gi issues, I have loved making your dishes, I do dumb down the spice some, but I have learned about so many things that in your culture I can eat.... so ty ty ty xoxo from a feeling much better subie...

[@memobash2234]

Oooooooh I adore this dish 🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@donnatran5084]

Memo Bash cach lam ga

[@MsLindawoods]

looks so yummy !

[@hemanambiar6454]

I love this❤

[@NotMeButAnother]

I tried this when I visited Thailand for the first time (mostly because it just looked nice and green) and ended up ordering it at almost every place that had it. It may actually be my favourite Thai dish now. Unfortunately I can't find water spinach where I live and I haven't found a substitute, especially because of the hollow stems.

[@user-xu3wq1op5s]

Thank you for your good recipe! I'm going to try it for dinner! and pretty sure it will be nice cuz I'm garic person🤣😉🤣😉

[@FS-gb9dw]

Looks so gr8

[@micah4801]

For those reluctant eaters for whom pak boong (Morning Glory greens) seem a little challenging, TRY THESE! I was reluctant too, until someone ordered it just as she describes in the video-as a side dish to an otherwise meat filled meal. They are so flavorful, mild and not bitter at all. A wonderful foil to the rich meats.

[@AWAYOZ]

great job looks so delicious the only thing I would do differently is only hit the chilies once to break and not release the seeds😊😁

[@letisrebijamatia899]

In Northeast India , Tripura we hv a lot this vegetable 🍃

[@manjusharron]

I miss this vegetable here in India..morning glory

[@renatofelix3961]

Nice

[@Adventure_with_Homen]

Nice, I like to have Thai recipe.

[@phongkanphay]

Koon Pai- what os the name of your cookbook? ? Is it available on amazon??

[@halimedd]

Thx......nice

[@terawhite9133]

Look good , now I need to find morning glory :-)

[@manjulanishanatha2168]

Good

[@saikatmehmud8817]

Thanks.

[@3hungesrt]

4:12 "six 😊" so cute

[@kowolterable]

Sawatdee ka! So as you are in Thailand would be perfect to make Durian recipe?!

[@devroz123]

Wow, "tumis kangkung", popular throughout SE Asia :D

[@MsLansones]

Pai, you can find that exact mortal and pestle here in the states.

[@cher128bx]

Looks like you don't respond to your commenters but just wanted to say, I just finished my final bite of this spinach stir fry and I must say, IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! Thanks for sharing this incredibly yummy recipe.

[@PailinsKitchen]

+Cheryl S. I respond to as many questions as I can here, but sometimes I miss them! Congrats on your success!

[@naruoze]

I tried it. Almost as delicious as in restaurants! But fresh water spinach isn't always available here in northern China.

[@trescilacruz3032]

This is vegetable nme in phil.is kangkong very nice!

[@trikien2376]

How do I oder water spinach seeds about 30 kg from Thailand pleased. Thank you .

[@elizabethshaw734]

Mushroom oyster sauce is available in every Asian market and online in the US. It's not as salty and it taste better than replacing oyster sauce with soy sauce.

[@smutpow]

Ah! you're back in Thailand! Was wondering how on earth did you managed to get water spinach over the other side of the world. Just to share, this veg goes extremely well with cuttlefish (the orangey kind, not the normal white fresh kind) paired either with thin curry sauce or black shrimp paste.

[@lololalala1000]

you can find it in most Asian markets. i live in Washington DC we have so many Asian markets & i always see water spinach even year round. if you live in a diverse area that has plenty of Asian markets you should find it easily. from New york, New jersey to Virginia i always see it sold in Asian markets.

[@marquitah1152]

It also goes great with shell crab in curry sauce, yum!

[@wonderingDoT]

Ingredient list: 150 g water spinach, cut stems into 2-3″ pieces, leave the leaves whole 5-6 cloves garlic 2-3 Thai chilies 1 Tbsp oyster sauce 1 Tbsp Tao Jiew (fermented soy bean paste) (Also see Rad Na and Kao Mun Gai videos) 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce 1 tsp sugar 1/4 - 1/8 tsp white pepper 2-4 Tbsp water as needed 2 Tbsp vegetable oil

Your intro music is a lot better!!!

[@elizabethshaw734]

Where your parents live looks more like Florida than Bangkok! LOL I have lived in other countries and my neighborhood looked like an American neighborhood but the couple of miles away it was definitely not America! :-)

[@maibarua]

May I got ingredients from this racipie ?

[@pipla5261]

Nong Pai, while you are in BKK, how about doing a show cooking with your Mom? (a really home cooked meal). ;-)

[@thesoyfeliz]

You can actually find some vegetarean oyster sause which is made of mushroom.

[@BlossomOu1989]

You are really pretty!

[@DaHoOfWJames]

Love 通菜! Especially with 豆腐乳^_^

[@taniabegley3074]

My mam was about to start cooking this, and I wanted it to be good so I said " mam, wait, don't do anything. I'm going to look up Pi Palin's recipe first." She replied, "eugh you and your Pi Palin. She probably won't have it" in for the win :)

[@parkavecloset6265]

Hello from Southern California. We just found your channel while looking for interesting tofu revipes. Thanks so much for taking the time to demystify the world of Thai cuisine for us. And a special thanks for pointing out vegetarian options. The potential "hidden ingredients" that are not vegetarian kept us away from Thai food. We are empty nesters and want to expand our culinary repertoire and new cultural understanding. There are so many muti-cultural markets here in the Los Angeles area. But we had no one to walk us through any of these ingredients. Now we have a delightful young teacher! My daughter is a " Pescatarian", so she wouldn't mind the seafood based condiments. I'm going to send her your link. Thanks again so much! Marina

[@dannac_8888]

You don't remove the seeds from the pepper?

[@AdamHotThaiKitchen]

Not this time :) Cheers! Adam

[@louie7774]

I dont have any space with your overloaded comments. "Thank you so much on sharing your thoughts" its tasteful

[@admaker07]

we call it Kangkong in Philippines and tausi (tau jiew)

[@dawnsolomon55]

Hi! I'm gluten-free and The onyl brand of Tao-Jeiw I can find has Wheat Flour in it! Do you have a recipe? I'm sure it can't bee tohard to ferment my own soybeans? Does anyone ever make thier own? Thanks! :)

[@yanmah3045]

在泰国的饭店处处都是炒空心菜，但是还挺辛辣的。

[@bend.6091]

Ask the resto for no chili or less spicy. If you cook for yourself, just leave those chili. It was my family recipe when I was a kid. However I prefer the chili one when I grew up.

[@cacadog67]

instead of adding water, especially if not trying to add sauce, add sake.

[@rufinafronterus2206]

Please right all ingredients when you make cooking so that it easy to follow . Thank you

[@adamthehtkminion6750]

They are all in the written recipe linked above ... hot-thai-kitchen.com/water-spinach-stir-fry/ ... cheers!
