Sauteed Talilong (Talinum) Leaves on a Bed of Scrambled Eggs



We ran out of our usual green leafy vegetables (e.g. watercress, cabbage) today so I turned to our small backyard for our supply of fiber. I noticed the abundance of talilong (talinum) plant growing wild in our area. They are all over the place yet unnoticeable. Save for its violet and yellow flower, it could be mistaken to an inedible grass. 

And so what can selftaughtkusinero have to do? I harvested a bunch of talilong leaves and cooked them right away.
