Method

  1. 1 Break the water spinach into sections and separate the stems from the leaves.
  2. 2 Wash and drain thoroughly; if the vegetables are still wet, lower the heat of the pan and ensure the entire plate is submerged.
  3. 3 Mash red fermented bean curd with sugar and a little water to make a smooth sauce.
  4. 4 Heat the pan until it smokes, then sauté the garlic and chili for 15 seconds before adding the stems and stirring for 40 seconds.
  5. 5 Add the leaves 40 seconds after the stem; the two parts cook at different times, so don't add them at the same time.
  6. 6 Pour the fermented bean curd sauce and wine around the edge of the pan, stir for 20 seconds, and serve immediately.
