👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Boil the water spinach, cabbage, bean sprouts, and long beans separately, not too long so they stay crisp

- 4 Add the palm sugar, salt, and tamarind water
- 5 Pour in the water little by little while grinding until you reach the right consistency

💡 Tips
• Don't boil the vegetables for too long so they stay green and crisp
• The lotek sauce tastes better when ground with a mortar and pestle rather than blended
• Add bird's eye chilies if you like it spicier
