Crispy Water Spinach
Or we call it "Crispy Kangkong" in my country. :) I don't eat vegetables that much when I was a kid, I was a picky eater back then (of course, you're a kid right?). We went to this party (which I vaguely remember) and they serve this as appetizer, my mom told me to try it, at first I was hesitant but decided to try one. I loved it, ever since then, whenever this dish came up I would be delighted to eat it.
I ate them last year when my friends and I celebrated our friend's birthday outside Manila (we went to Laguna, we stayed overnight). We went to a certain supermarket and decided to eat lunch there as well. :) I saw it on the menu and immediately ordered it. Then last night, one of my friends made these and told me online, I asked him the recipe and he gladly gave it to me. So I told my godmother to buy me two stalks of water spinach (which costs Php 20/stalk in Divisoria). I made the batter and cooked it as our afternoon snack.
The dip I made is Wasabi Mayonnaise, well, I really dislike the mayonnaise we have, it's too sweet so I decided to add some salt and pepper and wasabi. I like the combination of the two.
You can also substitute mayonnaise as your dip, sour cream is good, a friend of mine even dipped it in ranch too. :D
