Thai Garlic & Chili Morning Glory
Water spinach tossed hard and fast in a screaming-hot wok with garlic, chili, and a salty-umami punch. It hits different when it's charred at the edges and still snappy.

Step 1
Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until it shimmers and just starts to smoke, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Add garlic and chili, stir constantly for 20 seconds until fragrant — don't let garlic brown.
Step 3
Add morning glory and toss hard for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly. Edges should char and leaves still snap when bent.
Step 4
Pour soy sauce and fish sauce over the greens, toss to coat for 30 seconds.
Step 5
Squeeze lime juice over top, give one final toss, and slide onto a plate immediately.
