Hi Folks!! In addition to our Thai Cuisine,   I am going to talk about a very common and popular Thai dish made of morning glory called “Pad Pak Bung Fai Deng”, or “Morning Glory Stir Fry”. Morning Glory is a leafy Green Vegetable and very much available throughout the season. As all of us know that Green vegetable are excellent sources of Vitamins, dietary fiber and minerals. A regular consumption of green vegetables can significantly reduce the risk of muscular degeneration, obesity and Type 2 diabetes, reason why it can be a part of any diet plan.
