They are usually only available in the summer. So look for them as the weather gets warmer. Yes, water spinach is “ong choy.” They are usually only available in the summer.

It's one of my favorites - but I recently heard you can't buy it anymore (at list in our little market here in the mid-west USA). Have you seen it recently in your local market?

I was not able to get "young tender" shoots. But yeah, I love water spinach with fermented tofu. I'll blog the recipe sometime. Well… they are actually both pictures of pea shoots.

That's my all-time favourite. This Christmas I went to a Chinese restaurant with my boyfriend's parents. Since nobody ordered any vegetables (you are right that plain Chinese veg dishes are very unpopular among Americans) I got suan-chao spinach. I think they all thought I was crazy. I was the only person (out of ten people) who touched it. I can’t believe you showed a photo of water spinach without the fermented tofu. That’s my all-time favourite.
