Some times it is hard to tell whether it is a Thai food, Nyonya or Malay cuisine when come to dish like sambal kangkong (water spinach), sambal asparagus. I think people living in Thailand, Malaysia or Indonesia are cooking this dish almost the same way. So I think it is only fair to classify it under a fusion dish rather than classify it under any specific country cuisine.

As for the sambal, the main ingredients are toasted shrimp paste, chilies, small red onions, garlic, lemongrass but you can always adjust the ratio of spices according to your own taste and liking.

It is quite a simple dish to make after all, saute the blended sambal in warm oil to fragrant then stir fry with asparagus (peeled and sectioned) with some small shrimps for 3 minutes, add seasoning to tatse and it is done. Try it and enjoy.
