I remember my dad preparing this dish before. He used camote leaves instead of kangkong and kalamansi instead of vinegar. We also added thin slivers of shallots or onions, even spring onions(whatever is available)to this.

This is deffinitely a must try. Now where to buy katuray flowers is a challenge. We where just talking about the katuray tree the other day. They say its bad luck to see one from a window in your house. That’s why its normally planted where there are now homes around. Trivia…

I just came from a Malaysian restaurant last weekend, and the owner knowing its my first time, serve me a special home made sauce which she did not say what it was. My texas husband asked me to taste it first to see what was on it. Oh, hahaha, it was “sauteed bagoong” with lots of fresh tomatoes added and mixed with what I think if rice vinegar and little sugar. I told myself this can will go good with some sorts of Pinoy greens salad.. and this morning, here’s your site with confirmation of what I have in my taste palette. I am not sure if they have katuray blossoms here in the Oriental store and the squash flowers are only sold rarely. Gosh, I would have to come up with something else. Nakakainggit naman.

another KKKK version could be Kamote tops and Kadyos with Kalamansi and Kamias :)

edel, you can get katuray at most large wet markets, I got mine at the FTI Taguig market. Rowi, the ice bath is to stop the cooking and keep the color vibrant. If you skip the ice bath, the salad looks more blah and wilted…sheryl, it is ilocano, it mentions that in the post above…

Hej MM,

You did it again! Made us learn something new. Thank you for your infinite curiosity!
I think I’ve seen these katuray flowers in some markets out in the provinces ages ago, but never took the time to ask what they were for.

Your foto is so appetizingly good that I could almost taste the salad. I know why you insist on the ice bath – the vibrant colours of the veggies and flowers are kept intact as well as the “crunchiness” or is there another reason for doing this?
