Attractive foods in Sarawak-Midin

Midin is a green jungle fern that grows in Sarawak. Apparently this particular fern only grows on the island of Borneo. Unlike other greens that get soft when cooked, midin remains crunchy giving it an enjoyable texture.The natives would pluck the top section of the fern and sell them at the local jungle produce market. The thin, curly shoots are a delicious and healthy alternative to noodles and rice. Midin is often stir-fried with garlic, ginger, or optionally shrimp paste and chili.
