Bring water to boil. Add the dried longan, red dates, ginkgo nuts, and snow fungus. Boil in low heat for 30-45 minutes or until the water turns brown in color. Add sugar to taste.

Heat oil in wok. Add pre-soaked dried prawns (without water) and stir fry for 15 to 30 seconds. Add garlic and continue stir frying till garlic beginning to brown.

Add kangkong and stir well. Add seasoning and sprinkle a little water (previously used to soak dried prawns) every now and then to keep the dish moist. Dish up when leaves have completely and evenly turned darker colour.

Clean the wok, heat up 1 tablespoon of oil and add garlic. Stir fry for about 5 seconds on high heat, add soya bean sprouts and stir fry briskly. Add seasoning and sprinkle some water to keep moist. Do not pour water as this would make the dish soggy. The sprinkling of water will create steam which would hasten the cooking process.

Stir fry for about 2 to 3 minutes (or until the soya bean sprouts are soft to your liking). Just before dishing up, return ikan bilis to wok and stir well.

Continue to stir-fry briskly whilst adding seasoning. Cook until pea-sprouts begin to wilt to your desired softness or reduced by 1/2 in bulk. Add one or two tablespoons of warm water if you prefer some gravy.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in wok and saute belacan mix till aromatic (approximately 1 minute). Add another tablespoon of oil if belacan mix too dry or begin to burn.

Add miding to belacan mix and stir-fry briskly. Add water and continue stir frying till water almost dried up (but miding is moist).
