Notes

Tips
Before adding the tomatoes, onions, and ginger. Put them together in a bowl and squeeze and press it with 1 tsp of salt. This is my mother-in-law’s technique.
Make sure to wash and rinse properly the shrimp. Discard the vein.
Soak kangkong in salt water. Wash and rinse properly.
Can add okra, string beans, or any vegetables you like.
Do not overcook vegetables.
