Roast pork loin and spicy kangkong
Print This Post
Filed under Healthy veggies; Mighty meaty; My recipes; Kitchen experiments, pork
Ingredients :
1 400 g. slab of pork for roasting
1 medium-sized bunch of kangkong
1 onion, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tsp. of finely minced garlic
1 tsp. of sambal oelek
1 tsp. of salted yellow beans
salt
pepper
6 tbsps. of vegetable cooking oil
2 tbsps. of sesame seed oil
Cooking procedure :
Rub the pork liberally with salt and pepper.
Heat half of the sesame seed oil and half of the vegetable cooking oil in a pan. Lower the pork and brown on all sides. Transfer to a baking dish and roast in a hot oven, about 170oC, for about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to rest while you cook the kangkong stir fry.
Trim and cut the kangkong into 2-inch lengths, discarding the tough ends of the stalks.
Heat the remaining vegetable cooking oil in a saute pan. Cook the garlic, onion, salted yellow beans and sambal oelek for about a minute or until fragrant. Add the kangkong and cook, stirring, just until the leaves start to wilt. Note that I didn’t add salt nor pepper to the stiry fry. The salted yellow beans and sambal oelek are enough to impart the necessary flavors.
To assemble the dish, transfer the stir fried kangkong to a serving platter. Cut the roast pork into 1/4-inch thick slices and arrange on top of the kangkong. Drizzle the remaining sesame seed oil over the meat and vegetables.
To serve, allot 2-3 slices of roast pork and a heaping serving of stir fried kangong per person.

hi Connie,
kangkong is not available here in Aus (as far as I know), would you suggest an alternative? do you think I can use watercress instead? thanks
i’m not very familiar with watercress, maya. but i use kangkong and spinach interchangeably.
maam, masarap po ng recipe nyo, usually nga lng, i add shrimp paste with my kangkong….and more garlic of course…
I like garlic, too, Kats.
But am allergic to shrimp paste. 
Connie,
Whats sambal oelek?
Thanks,
Vilma
Vilma, it’s a Thai chili sauce. Minced hot chilis, actually. Comes in jars.
i like fried kangkong…tapos merong sweet chili sauce,,,
Hi Maya, where in Oz are you? Here in Sydney, you can find Kangkong in many Asian / Filipino shops. It’s sort of different though in shape. The one’s here are not like the one in Phils with long and slender leaves, here it’s a bit ‘fatter’. Hope you’ll find one.
