4. Put oil in the pan, turn on high heat, and fry garlic and preserved eggs first.

5. Add the wolfberry leaves. Please note that the wolfberry leaves should be put into the pot with a little water. Do not add them later, otherwise the taste will be different. After frying it, you will find that there is a lot of water. Just boil it for a while and add appropriate amount of salt.
