Most of you may already know that kangkong is the usual vegetable used with tinolang halaan, but I wanted to post the recipe for the benefit of those who are still learning how to cook. Here is the recipe of how I cooked my Tinolang Halaan with Kangkong.

Ingredients:

1 kilo halaan, clams
1-2 thumb size ginger, sliced into strips
1/2 head garlic, chopped
1 medium size onion, sliced
1 bundle kangkong tops, trimmed
2-3 pieces long green chili
cooking oil

Cooking procedure:

Wash clams and place in a bowl, cover with water and let sit in for several hours to allow the clams to expel dirt and discard water, wash and drain. In a wok or pan sauté garlic, ginger and onion. Pour 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Add clams and allow water to boil once more and simmer until the shells start to open, now add in kangkong and green chili , simmer for another 2 to 3 minutes or until done. Serve hot.
