Thinly slice the garlic and set aside. Heat oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat, then carefully fry the garlic slices until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Rinse the spring vegetables and trim the ends. Rinse the bean sprouts thoroughly and drain well.
Shred the salted fish fillets into thin strips by hand or with a fork, removing any bones.
Heat the remaining oil in the wok over high heat. Add the spring vegetables and stir-fry for 2 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Add the bean sprouts and shredded salted fish. Continue stir-frying for 1 minute.
Pour in the light soy sauce, sugar, and water. Toss everything together and cook for another 1 minute until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Drizzle with sesame oil and toss. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish generously with the crispy garlic chips.
