Gulai ayam Pucuk Puding Belacan

Normally young shoots of pokok puding belacan best eaten in rendang. But I have just enough time for a quick fix meal so express gulai ayam would do for today's lunch . I first saw this pucuk puding belacan in makcik manggis kitchen . She made yummilicious rendang. you can get here recipe here http://mamakitchen-makcikmanggis.blogspot.com/2013/01/rendang-ayam-dengan-daun-puding.html . Since i haven't seen this kind of pokok puding before, she was kind eough to send me the pic .For your further reference please visit    http://kebunbahagiabersama.blogspot.com/2013/09/pokok-puding-rendang-negeri-sembilan.html, you may purchase the seedlings from them too.

kak sapinah sent me pic of her pokok puding belacan,to assist me picking young shoots from the right plants.https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4807327354325&set=t.100000195931898&type=3&theater

 my neighbour moved out and leave many pots of plants behind, outside the rented property,waiting for the cleaner to throw into the huge piles of trash.Her trash is my precious  long awaited pokok puding belacan.

the young shoots of pokok puding belacan ( ok , I'l atttach the pic of the plants from my garden too later)

add in the young shoots

continue cooking until the kuah( gravy slightly thicken)

humble pucuk puding belacan certainly jazzed up   my plain gulai ayam with such an exotic flavour. To my surprise, the young shoots remain intact after 30 minutes being cooked in the gulai on medium/slow flame.The taste is thick steamed spinach with quite close to steamed malabar spinach .
