  • 1 batch water spinach ((*Footnote 1))
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons peanut oil ((*Footnote 2))
  • 2 to 3 Chinese chili peppers (, dried (*Footnote 3))
  • 2 blocks (1 tablespoon) fermented tofu ( (*Footnote 4))
  • 2 teaspoons liquid from the jar of fermented tofu

  • 3 cloves garlic (, sliced)
  • 6 cloves garlic (, minced and separated)
  • 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine ((or chicken stock, or vegetable stock))
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instruction

  • Prepare the water spinach by cutting off the tough stems, usually 2 to 3 inches from the bottom end. Discard the leaves that are withered, have brown spots, or have turned yellow. Thoroughly rinse with tap water and transfer to a colander to drain. Separate the stems and leaves with a pair of kitchen scissors. Cut the stems into 1-inch long pieces.
