Gather @sunflower oil{2%tbsp}.

Wash the @water spinach{400%g}, snap it into finger-length pieces, and dry it as well as you can.

Heat the wok until it just smokes, then add the oil and the smashed @garlic{5%clove} together.

The instant the garlic turns fragrant — seconds, not minutes — throw in all the greens.

Toss hard and constantly for about 90 seconds until the stems brighten and the leaves collapse. ~{90%seconds}

Season with the @tamari{1%tbsp}, @sugar{0.5%tsp} and a pinch of @salt{}, toss twice more, and serve immediately — it waits for no one.
