   In a small bowl, combine salt, sugar, oyster sauce, and water or chicken stock. Mix well.

   Add the drained water spinach to the wok. Stir-fry vigorously for 1-2 minutes until it starts to wilt.

   Add the broken dace pieces, reserved black beans, and the seasoning sauce to the wok. Continue to stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the water spinach is tender-crisp and the sauce is well distributed. Serve hot with rice.
