Any recipes for Rau Muong, the "Water Spinach" ???

I was thinking of just steaming it and using it in a salad... but would
appreciate other ideas.

Enter "Rou Moung recipe" without the quotes into Google and you'll
find a plethora of them. If Steve K. finds this thread, he may
contribute - but he doesn't drop in very often these days.

here's a meatless recipe

One note says:

'Rau Muong' is usually referred to as 'swamp cabbage' or 'ong choi'
in the grocery store. Unfortunately, most southern states (FL, TX) are
banning this b/c it's overtaking local vegetation — Aug 16, 2003

The local Vietnamese place which, to me at least, appears to be as
authentic as they get, serves it stir-fried with pieces of beef (rau
muong xao thit bo) or with garlic and chilies (rau muong xao toi, ot).
It is also often a component of such soups as the famous bun bo Hue).
