👨‍🍳 About This Spinach Eggs Recipe

We all know how good leafy veggies are for us, and spinach is a top pick you can easily find in any grocery store, fresh or frozen.

This recipe is different from your usual scrambled eggs with spinach for breakfast. It’s a Chinese dish that can take the spotlight as a main course, and if you skip the carbs, it turns into a great low-carb vegetarian option. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to make—just 10 minutes is all you need.

Like typical home cooking, you can be flexible with the ingredients—adjust them to your liking as long as you get the saltiness right.

I’ve tried and tested this recipe many times, and it always turns out delicious. You won’t be disappointed. 🤗

🥘 Ingredients

• Spinach: You have options for the spinach in this recipe—frozen, pre-washed leaves, or my personal preference, fresh spinach. The fresh one gives a unique texture with both stems and leaves. If you can get your hands on organic spinach, it’s even better in terms of taste. I usually find them at the local farmers market.
• Eggs: The number of eggs you include in this recipe depends on your preference.
• Garlic: Having fried garlic on hand is incredibly handy in the kitchen. I prepare a batch to cut down on cooking time, and the bonus is that it can be used in various other dishes as well.
• Cornstarch: Cornstarch serves two purposes here: it thickens the sauce and helps the flavor cling to the spinach. If you decrease the amount, the consistency might get a bit runny, but be cautious not to add too much, as it can lead to lumps and make it too thick to blend well with the spinach.

🍳 Tips for Frying Eggs

1. Whisk with Water for Tender Eggs: Adding 1 tablespoon of water while whisking the eggs results in a much tender and moist texture.
2. Generous Oil for Flavorful Eggs: For delicious eggs, use more oil while frying. Opt for olive oil if health is a concern.
3. Hot Oil for Aromatic Eggs: Wait until the oil reaches a higher temperature before adding whisked eggs to create egg bubbles and release a great aroma.

🔪 Instructions

Step one: Boil Spinach and Prepare sauce

• Boil spinach in water until fully wilted and done. Drain the water and arrange the cooked spinach on a plate.
