The Remayung Merah or Hijau (English name: Ceylon Spinach; Scientific name: Basella alba) can be easily grown from its stem. Whenever I buy this vegetable from the market, I would make sure that I keep the stems after removing the leaves to make soup. You just need to push the stems into the soil and they will grow. It doesn't need much care.
The Remayung is high in vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, and calcium. It is low in calories by volume, and high in protein per calorie. The succulent mucilage is a particularly rich source of soluble fiber, thought to remove mucus and toxins from the body.
Here is my recipe for making soup from either the Ceylon Spinach.
Ingredients:
Ceylon Spinach (use the leaves only) 500 grammes
garlic (2 pips)
shallots (2)
salted egg (1)
fishballs, fishcake, crabsticks and other types of seafood
ginger (1/2 inch)
Anchovies (1/2 a cup)
Method:
1. Clean all the ingredients
2. Cut the shallots, garlic and ginger
3. Place 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok. Heat the oil and then add the shallots and ginger.
4. Later add the anchovies and garlic. Stir fry for a few minutes
5. Add 1 liter of water and put it to boil.
6. When the water is boiled add the Ceylon spinach. Let it boil for a while.
7. Lastly add the salted egg, fishcake, fishballs, crabsticks and other types of seafood.
The soup serves 4 to 5 people.
