1 tbsp. Chinese rice wine, or dry sherry
Directions:
1. Gently combine the chopped chicken leg with the marinade in a bowl, mix well and let them marinate for about 1 hour.
2. Rinse spinach well before cooking, then blanch them in boiling water until the colour turns jade green, which will take about 15 seconds, then transfer them to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking.
