- 200g Chinese (round/sharp) spinach
- 3 tbsp cooking oil

- 1 carrot peeled and sliced thinly
- 1 tbsp Chinese wine
- Seasonings (A)
- 1/4 cup water

- Separate spinach leaves and stems. Snap the stem into 5 cm length, pulling and discarding the strings as you do so.
- Heat oil and add ikan bilis, cooking until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes. Drain ikan bilis from oil and set aside.
- Using the remaining oil in the wok, add garlic and ginger. Saute until fragrant.
- Add spinach stems and carrot slices. Stir fry for about 2 minutes until just softened.
- Add spinach leaves and sauce (A). Stir fry until the leaves are wilted. Then cover with lid and let the contents simmer for 30 seconds.
- Drizzle Chinese wine on the sides of the wok, turn off the flame when you smell the aroma of the wine seconds later.
- Dish into serving plate and top with the previously fried ikan bilis.
