Blanch the greens briefly, squeeze out excess water, and chop them coarsely.
Pound or blend onion, garlic, tomato, chile, ginger, and dried shrimp into a rough paste.
Fry the paste in red palm oil until the oil separates and the aroma deepens.
Fold in the greens and cook until glossy and seasoned, finishing with a little lime juice.
