Stir fried morning glory with tofu and quail eggs, served with steamed rice.

Morning glory or ong choy, also commonly known as water spinach, is a vegetable from South East Asia. Not to be confused with the British plant known by the same name, which can be poisonous. This vegetable is called morning glory because of their trumpet-shaped flowers that peak at full bloom in the morning.

Morning glory contains carotene, amino acids including polyphenol (an antioxidant), and minerals such as potassium, iron and magnesium. All this makes the humble vegetable a veritable superfood.
