What is Water spinach?
Yōsai (蕹菜 or 甕菜, Ipomoea aquatica ), in English known as "water spinach", has countless local names in Southeast Asia. While yōsai is cultivated for its edible stems, it is closely related to sweet potatos, which also belong to the morning glory plant family. It is very popular in stir-fry dishes.
