Phat Khana Gung ผักคะน้ากุ้ง Stir Fried Kailan With Prawns

This is what I love cooking on my days off. It is delicious and takes less than 10 minutes to prepare, leaving me more time to catch up with all my reading. Kailan is in season now and there is no better time to enjoy this delicious vegetable. If you prefer a naughtier version of this check out Stir fried kailan with crispy pork.
