If I have to choose which of the wife duties I love the most, I will pick cooking in a heartbeat. Just about anything that has something to do with preparing and making meals for my little fambam, I enjoy a lot. Probably because the hubee is such a foodie and the little miss A is looking like becoming one as well. Happy tummies equals a happy family. :)
While I have my typical go-to recipes, every once in a while, I would try and cook something new just to give our palates something different. Or sometimes, the folks will bring some fresh goodies all the way from Nueva Ecija - longganisa, fish but veggies most of the time. Just recently I learned how to eat Kulitis (Chinese Spinach) leaves so my dad would bring me some everytime they're in Manila for a visit.
The only way I know how to cook it is to sauteé with garlic, onion, tomato and mackerel or sardines. And since my dad brought heaps of these greens last weekend, I think someone will eventually complain if I cook it that way over and over again. So I thought maybe I can make a Crispy Kulitis just like the Crispy Kangkong. :)
And here's what I came up with.

Ingredients:
50 pieces of Kulitis leaves
(Choose the big ones, wash then lay flat on a plate)
For the batter:
1 cup All Purpose Flour
1 cup Ice Cold Water
1 Egg
1 cup Cooking Oil
How to cook:
- Start by heating the pan with the cooking oil.
- Combine the flour, water and egg then beat until the lumps of flour are gone.
- Hold the stem of the kulitis and brush both sides of the leaf in the batter until completely covered.
- Cook until it turns slightly brown.
- Remove from pan and transfer to a strainer lined with a tissue or coffee filter to absorb oil.
- Serve and enjoy. :)
I made two dips:
- Mayonaisse, dried oregano, dried basil, salt and pepper.
- Soy sauce, lemon, garlic powder and sesame oil.
