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.
For Vegetarians:
Ignore Oyster Sauce and Mushroom Sauce can be an ideal substitute.
Ingredients:-
· Morning Glory – 250 Grms
· Cloves of Garlic – 3 (Crushed)
· Red Thai Chilies – 3 nos (Crushed)
· Soya Sauce – 1 tbsp
· Oyster Sauce – 2 tbsp
· Salt as per taste
· Cooking Oil – 2 tsp
· Water – 50 ml
Preparation Method:-
Ø Cut Morning Glories in 4 inch pieces; Separate leaves from stem.
Ø Then wash and drain thoroughly. Keep aside.
Ø Heat the Oil in a Pan; add Crushed Garlic and sauté for a minute.

Ø Add Chilies, Oyster Sauce, Soya Sauce, Salt and Stir for 3 mins in high flame.
