In Thailand it was served after lighting on fire in pan . I found it in a little place in SoCal, but have unable to find it in San Francisco in restaurants or markets. I think it is also called On Choy or water spinach. Any suggestions on where to find it? Wed Nov 04 17:05:29 -0800 2009 88654 hungerpains 1 5156758 Commonly called ong choy or kang kung around here. I've had good versions at Singapore-Malaysian in SF and Great China, Daimo, China Village, Legendary Palace, and Jayakarta in the East Bay. I've never seen it flambeed, only stir-fried with shrimp paste, garlic, or fermented tofu.

Given that my Siem Reap tour guide said that it was practically a weed in Cambodia, I'm guessing that it is something that is more common here in the spring and summer. Wed Nov 04 18:01:39 -0800 2009 5156678 237172 sfbing 2 5156893 Yes, it's a summer time vegetable in these parts. Wed Nov 04 18:43:52 -0800 2009 5156791 10039 Melanie Wong 3 5158700 Spring, too. It's available year-round, but in the cold months most of it's probably coming from far Southern California, Mexico, or China. Thu Nov 05 12:02:55 -0800 2009 5156893 11369 Robert Lauriston 4 5158711 Yes, it does make an appearance year-round. However, some restaurants won't serve it when the weather is cold. Thu Nov 05 12:06:53 -0800 2009 5158700 10039 Melanie Wong 1 5156797 I buy On Choy all the time at 99 Ranch. It's very easy to cook and quite inexpensive. Just stir fry with some garlic, dried chili, and a little fish sauce. Wed Nov 04 18:03:47 -0800 2009 5156678 96224 kungful 1 5156896 You should just ask for it in restaurants. Since it's seasonal, I've rarely seen it on a printed menu. But it's widely available during the summer. Wed Nov 04 18:44:44 -0800 2009 5156678 10039 Melanie Wong 1 5162390 Thank you all. Your knowledge base is fantastic. The Super Bowl Thai is a tiny place just south of Claremont, CA that has a very tasty rendition. I will try the places mentioned when it is the correct season.
