Midin ( Sarawak Wild Ferns )

Cook Midin similar way like cooking Kangkung Belacan and emmmm.... yummy! Here is how the fresh ones look like:

Another speciality from Sarawak is Midin, a kind of wild ferns grown in bushes along streets. With rapid development and clearance of bushes, Midin is becoming scarce and more expensive nowadays. Midin is tastier compared to the green ferns as it is milder and less starchy.
