Morning Glory

There are two kinds of morning glory: Chinese and Thai.   A stalk and leaves of Chinese morning glory are green while those of Thai morning glory green mixed with reddish brown color.  The Chinese morning glory is also bigger than the Thai one.  Chinese-Thais stir fry it with pork and soy bean paste.   Thais do the same but put garlic and hot chili into the dish.  The Thai morning glory are eaten raw with any kind of chili paste and Thais' favorite dish, "Som-tam" (papaya salad).  It can also be put in curry.
