How to Cook Water Spinach(Kangkong) Salad with Salted Egg

Hi Foodies! If you are on a tight budget and looking for a healthy dish. This one is for you! Our main ingredient is Water spinach, also known as kangkong or ong choy, which is a common vegetable in Southeast Asian cuisine and is often considered a "food for the poor" because it is relatively inexpensive and easily accessible, particularly in rural areas.
