Indonesian Style Malabar Spinach image

I found this after I started growing malabar spinach I suspect it would be good with chaya (a perrenial veggie in my yard) or other leafy greens.

This dish is a staple in my household. It's easy to make and always a hit with my family and friends. I love the creamy coconut sauce and the tender spinach. I usually serve it with rice and a side of vegetables.

I've been making this dish for years and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The key is to use fresh Malabar spinach and to not overcook it. The sauce is also very versatile, so you can add different vegetables or proteins to it.

I'm not usually a fan of spinach, but this dish changed my mind. The coconut milk sauce was so good that I could have eaten it on its own. The spinach was cooked perfectly and had a nice bite to it.
