Water Spinach Adobo
(Kangkong) Filipino Recipe

This Filipino Recipe is very popular and common in every Filipino household. And I think its one of the very favorite among Filipinos! My father love's Kangkong Adobo!

Since water spinach or the kakong are mostly located and picked at almost everywhere (mostly in swamped areas), it is very important that you must spend time washing it. You have to thoroughly wash the kangkong leaves with continuous flow of water.

As many knows, this Filipino recipe is somewhat similar to Chicken or Pork adobo but only with having the kangkong as the main ingredient.

So here it is, my brother's very own version of Kangkong Adobo or the Water Spinach Adobo Filipino Recipe.

1tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp of bagoong (made in fermented shrimps or shrimps and salts)
