I have sorta perfected my very own version of both the rau muong xao toi (Vietnamese hollow stem spinach with minced garlic) and the dot dau hoa lan xoi toi (snow pea leaves with minced garlic). I also add some diced onions along with it cos big poppa and I worship garlic and onion as a power duo. It's a lot of work for such a simple looking dish with the blanching and then stir frying. Anyways, if big poppa go grocery shopping at the asian stores on the weekends, it's a sure bet that I'll be making either one of these for dinner during the week. The one in the foto is the rau muong. Disregard the meat next to it. It was just some ground pork with Chinese sausage. It's my Sandra Lee semi-homemade style of cooking. Haha. I come home so tired that I just want to really concentrate on making one time consuming item and the rest needs to be snap snap snap. Anyways. I'm the most airhead klutz in the kitchen. I just really don't belong in there but I like trying to think that I'm on Top Chef. I ended up using the rest of the meat to make fried rice two days later.
