Cah Kangkung Udang

I want to apologize.  I can't believe it's been so long since I did a food blog.  I promise I will try not to have the blogs so few and far between anymore.



Doesn't this look amazing?

My Aspie son, William, saw this on my other food blog, Our Roots in Food, and wanted to make it on his night to cook.  He did an awesome job with just a little help from me.  It was delicious!

Cah Kangkung Udang is an Indonesian dish and those who know me know that my Sweetheart is a Dutch-Indo so I am partial to foods cooked in his Mom's native Indonesia. 

Enjoy!

  • 10 ounces spinach
  • 7 ounces large shrimp
  • 1 onion

  • 2 chilies, or adjust to taste
