Phak Bung Fai Daeng | Traditional Vegetable Dish From Thailand, Southeast Asia | TasteAtlas

Phak bung fai daeng

(ผักบุ้งไฟแดง )

Phak bung fai daeng is a vegetable stir-fry consisting of chopped Chinese water morning glory, fried along with red bird’s eye chilis, soybean sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, salted soybean paste, sugar, oil, and chicken broth or water. The chopped vegetable is fried briefly to retain its crispness and its vibrant green color, which is beautifully complemented by red chilis.


This spicy, meatless dish can be eaten on its own or served alongside steamed rice or rice porridge. It is a simple dish that is sold as street food throughout Thailand.
