Hello vegan love community how are you? I hope you are all well. Oh yes, do you know genjer leaves, these genjer leaves usually grow in rice fields or in shallow waters, even though they are relatively simple but it is not uncommon for us to find these genjer vegetables in your expensive restaurants. Because these genjer vegetables are not only delicious to eat but also contain many benefits for our bodies, one of which is that they can maintain heart and bone health. As an anti-pain, and many more,
This genjer vegetable has dark green leaves, with stems that are also slightly purplish green, and usually we look for young genjer vegetables so that they are not bitter when we process them, as long as we know how to process them properly and correctly, these genjer leaves are not bitter, one way is to boil them first in boiling water so that they are not bitter when cooked later.
In my house everyone likes to eat genjer vegetables with rice, usually I often go to the rice fields to pick these vegetables, but right now I don't want to pick them in the rice fields so I just buy them from the greengrocer, with the price being very cheap. Okay, I will start processing this genjer vegetable, using simple ingredients that are at home.
1 tomato
5 cloves of shallots
2 cloves of garlic
8 red chilies
4 green chilies
Cayenne pepper to taste
A pinch of salt
Mushroom broth
Prepare the genjer vegetables, cut them into short pieces or according to your taste.

Stir-fried genjer vegetables are ready to be enjoyed with warm rice, ready to cook and I ate it straight away because I haven't had time to eat since morning. The taste is spicy, sweet, delicious and savory mixed together. There is no bitterness at all, this is one of my favorite types of vegetables.

Without waiting long, it was gone, there was nothing left, I highly recommend you all to cook this genjer vegetable as a delicious side dish, if you like shrimp paste, you can add shrimp paste or shrimp, you can also add tauco. It so happened that at home there was no shrimp paste, shrimp or tauco. So I just cooked it like this, it was really delicious, I could finish a basket of rice hehehhe
