1. 1

   Wash 300 g kangkong (water spinach), remove tough stems, cut into pieces. Mince 3 garlic cloves.

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: Adobong Kangkong is a simple Filipino dish — water spinach cooked in the classic adobo base of soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic. Quick, vegan, and pleasantly tangy-savory.

2. 2

   Sauté the garlic in oil until fragrant. Add 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp vinegar, and 1 tsp sugar. Bring briefly to a boil (do not stir immediately after adding the vinegar — this mellows the acidity).

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: The adobo base (soy sauce + vinegar + garlic) is the heart of Filipino cuisine. Let the vinegar come to a boil briefly before stirring — this takes the edge off the sharpness.

3. 3

   Add the kangkong and stir-fry briefly (2–3 min.) until wilted but still crisp. Serve immediately (it becomes mushy otherwise).

   ⏱️ approx. 12 min

   💡 Tip: Adobong Kangkong is served with white rice as a side dish or light main course. The crisp water spinach in the tangy-savory adobo sauce is quick to make and universally loved.
