I wanted to recreate a Taiwanese dish with Chinese spinach and shirasu baby sardines, but since Chinese spinach is not readily available, I came up with this recipe.

Silken tofu easily crumbles, so drain well first. I used spinach, but other greens such as mizuna leaves or bean shoots can be substituted.
The shirasu and spinach are already salted, so taste before adding more seasoning. Recipe by Mizorecchifan.
