About Kang Kong — Ipomoea aquatica

Ipomoea aquatica is one of the most important leafy vegetables in Southeast Asian, East Asian, and South Asian cooking. Despite its common name “water spinach,” it is not related to true spinach (Spinacia oleracea) — it belongs to the morning glory family (Convolvulaceae) and is distinguished by its hollow stems, arrow-shaped leaves, and vigorous growth in warm, wet conditions.

In Vietnamese cooking, rau muống is one of the most beloved and culturally significant vegetables — stir-fried with garlic and shrimp paste (rau muống xào tỏi), served alongside pho, or eaten raw as a fresh herb plate. In Filipino cooking it is kangkong, used in sinigang (tamarind soup) and adobo
