    While traveling through SE Asia this spring, Laikom and I had sweet potato shoots in fermented bean curd sauce at a Chinese restaurant in an alley of Kuala Lumpur. Ever since, I've been wanting to track down these greens and try cooking them myself - has anyone seen these around?

    I'm pretty sure I've seen them at H-Mart, but I'm not sure if they're always there.
    You could grow 'em yourself: Sweet potatoes sprout quite well in a glass of water, with part of the spud held out of the water with toothpicks.

    They have them in Chinatown groceries, and the last time I had them was at Grand Palace
