Method

   Soak the mulberries in lightly salted water for 10 minutes, then rinse them thoroughly with running water.

   Step 2

   Add sugar and mix well. Marinate for an hour; the mulberries will release their own moisture. Alternatively, you can omit the sugar and crush the mulberries before proceeding to the next step.

   Step 3

   Without brushing oil into the pan, pour in the mulberries and stir-fry over low heat, crushing them with a spatula as you stir-fry. Once they are cooked and softened, they will be easy to crush.
