Stir-Fried Mimosa (Pad Phak Krachet)

Cooking Instructions

1. Prep Everything First

[] Pound the garlic and chilies in a mortar and pestle until coarse
[] Place mimosa, pounded garlic, chilies, fermented soybean paste, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, sugar, and stock/water together in a bowl or plate.
[] This ensures everything is ready to toss in at once. Timing is key for this dish.

2. Heat the Wok

[] Use very high heat.
[] Add oil and let it get smoking hot. You should see a bit of smoke before cooking begins.

3. Stir-Fry Fast

[] Immediately toss everything into the wok in one go, the greens and all the seasonings together.

4. Quick Stir

[] Stir-fry rapidly for 10–15 seconds, just until the morning glory wilts slightly but stays vibrant green.

5. Serve Hot

[] Remove from heat and serve right away while still sizzling.
[] Best enjoyed with steamed jasmine rice.
