Light fried morning glory is a typical dish throughout Southeast Asia. The dish is commonly eaten with steam rice or sticky rice, papaya salad, potatoes, yam, etc. Depending on your preference, it can be cooked with fresh green or red peppers, green onions or onions, herbs and or carrots. For dinner tonight, I made some fresh organically grown morning glory from our site at Ekxang village in the Vientiane Province.Here are few photos, ingredients and simple steps to prepare the dish.

1-2kg fresh sliced morning glory
3 fresh Green onions
3 pieces of garlic

Steps: cook time is about 10 minutes
1. Make sure to wash and slice the morning glory into thin pieces about 1-2cm or larger depending on your preference.
2. Slice the vegetables that will be used with morning glory to make the dish.
