Heat wok or large pan over high heat until very hot. Add oil and let it smoke slightly.
Add minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, about 20 seconds. Be careful not to burn.
Add mashed fermented bean curd and fermented bean curd sauce, stirring to combine with the oil and garlic.
Add water or stock and sugar, stir well to dissolve the fermented bean curd.
Add water spinach and red chilli, toss constantly for 3-4 minutes until the leaves are tender but still slightly crisp.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. The fermented bean curd should provide enough saltiness.
Transfer to serving bowl and garnish with thinly sliced garlic.
