Introduction
By stir-frying salted egg until it bubbles and releases its rich, savory aroma, paired with crunchy water spinach and silky enoki mushrooms, this dish is a delicious, quick home-cooked meal that is incredibly appetizing.
Step 1
Keep the rubber band on the water spinach, coil it into a circle, trim the ends, then remove the band and cut it into suitable lengths using a cross-cut method.
Step 2
Wash the water spinach and soak it in water; you can place a plate on top to keep it fully submerged to maintain its crispness.
Step 3
Trim the roots of the enoki mushrooms, cut the cluster apart vertically and horizontally, then halve them; slice the garlic.
Step 4
Crack open the salted egg, scoop it into a plastic bag, and mash it thoroughly with your hands.
Step 5
Heat a wok with 2 tablespoons of oil, add the mashed salted egg and garlic slices, and stir-fry until it bubbles and releases fragrance.

Important Notes
Soaking water spinach after washing (you can weigh it down with a plate) helps it absorb moisture, making it extra crisp and refreshing. 💡
It is essential to stir-fry the salted egg in oil until fine bubbles form to fully release the aroma of the egg yolk and achieve proper oil emulsification. 🔥
Stir-frying water spinach is all about heat control. Steam for about 30 seconds, then quickly stir-fry with the lid off for no more than 30 seconds to prevent it from losing its crunch or turning dark. ⚠️
