  • Add soy sauce, vinegar, peppercorn,  salt, pepper, brown sugar, mix and allow it to saute.
  • Next, add the remaining  kangkong, chilli peppers and allow it to simmer for 5 minutes (no need to add water because kangkong is watery) cover with a lid and allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the leaves are cooked.
