Sweet Potato Leaves

 Nostalgic ... childhood vegetable readily available back in Malaysia, cheap as dirt and can be found growing wild and plentiful especially in the kampungs!
 
Have not had this vegetable since I was 22years old when I left for the UK.  A friend of mine in Melboune has planted some and he brought over a bag of the sweet potato leaves for me last night.
 
Am super excited ... am going to cook a blachan sambal with it.  Meantime, will try to soak the stalks and wait for them to root and plant my own?!?
 

Stalks I am going to soak for it to root so that I can plant it myself!
Watch out for my cooked version pixs when I get it cooked ... haha
For now ... just the green raw vegetable.  Cant wait to eat it !!!
 

hmmm ...might make half of it into a sambal stir fry and use the other half in a masak lemak with prawns.... #drools
