Sayur Manis (Sauropus Androgynus, Sayur Mani, Mani Cai, Katuk, star gooseberry) can be easily cultivated by just using the matured stems. They grow well under bright sunlit area with adequate water. Sayur manis is used to garnish Pan Mee and it is full of natural sweetness like its’ namesake! You can read about the chemical content in Sayur manis from my previous post,
Edible Plants, Fruits and Herbs in a Foodie’s Garden. Anyway, the Sayur Manis in the photo above are produce from my little garden. It grows very well without much care needed. I would normally stir fry Sayur Manis with eggs. I think most families would cook it the same way too. Here is the simple recipe.
Ingredients
Sayur Manis, remove stems, just keep the leaves
Eggs, 1 pc, lightly beaten
Garlic, 3 pcs, chopped finely
Salt to taste
Vegetable oil, ½ tablespoon
Heat up wok and put in the vegetable oil. Saute garlic until fragrant and put in the sayur manis. Add a little water and slowly pour in the eggs. Add salt to taste. Serve with steamed rice.

So this is called sayur manis. I like it with pan mee, or with egg soup :)
this is a new vegetable for me, unless I know it by another name. Interesting.
