3. Add 1 tbsp. fried shallots and garlic, cook 10 seconds, then add spinach and rice wine and toss to combine.
4. Add fish sauce and chicken stock and continue stir-frying, tossing ingredients together, until spinach wilts, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

6. Sprinkle with rest of fried shallots.
7. *Find nutty, slightly sweet Shaoxing rice wine at Asian markets and some liquor stores.
