To make the dish, first finely chop garlic. Then heat a pan and add some oil. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and fry until fragrant.
Next, wash the water spinach, cut it in half, and chop it into small pieces. Remove the garlic from the pan and add the water spinach to the pan, frying until it becomes soft.
Then add chili peppers and fermented tofu, stir-frying everything together until well mixed and cooked through. The dish can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
If desired, shrimp or meat such as chicken or beef can be added to create a protein-rich version. It is also possible to replace the chili peppers with other spices such as garlic or ginger to refine the dish.
