Adobong Kangkong Bites with Garlic Aioli
"A creative take on a Filipino favorite, these bite-sized adobo-glazed water spinach leaves offer a savory and satisfying low-carb snack, complemented by a creamy garlic aioli for dipping."
Preparation Steps
Prepare the Adobo Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, black pepper, and optional sweetener.
Prepare the Water Spinach: Ensure the water spinach leaves are thoroughly dried. This is crucial for crispiness.
Cook the Water Spinach: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the water spinach leaves in batches, stir-frying for 1-2 minutes until wilted but still vibrant green.
Glaze the Spinach: Pour the adobo glaze over the wilted spinach. Toss quickly for about 30 seconds to coat the leaves evenly. Be careful not to overcook.
Form the Bites: Once glazed, quickly remove the spinach from the pan and arrange on a plate. While still warm and pliable, gently shape small clusters or 'bites' of the glazed kangkong.
Prepare the Garlic Aioli: In another small bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until smooth.
Serve: Arrange the Adobong Kangkong Bites on a serving platter and serve immediately with the Garlic Aioli for dipping.

"Ensure water spinach is very dry before cooking to achieve a crispier texture. For an extra crunch, you can lightly pan-fry the glazed leaves for another minute. Adjust the adobo glaze ingredients to your preference."
