Ingredients

1 hour
2 servings
  1. 1 bunchwhole Spinach
  2. 1pasture raised egg
  3. 2thousand-year-old eggs, optional
  4. 1/4 cuphomemade cured ham
  5. 2 tspdried salted shrimp
  6. 2white button mushrooms
  7. 4garlic cloves

Cooking Instructions

1 hour
  1. 1

    Soak Spinach in water with a Tsp baking soda added for about 5 minutes before rinse them in running water.

  2. 2

    Roate garlic in olive oil on very low heat until golden.

  3. 3

    Make a thin egg crepe and slice it into 1/4 inch in width. Separate thousand-year-old egg white from its yoke and cut them into cubes. These eggs are invented by ancient Chinese using wood ashes to cure fresh duck eggs making the egg white protein able to digest by elder and kids. Escape this step or replace it with hard boiled eggs.

  4. 4

    Bring the stock plus 2 cups of water into a boil.

  5. 5

    Add mushrooms, cured ham, garlic, egg crepe strips and thousand-year-old egg white. Simmer for about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    In the meantime, saute spinach in a Tsp of water just after it withers. It takes only seconds. Arrange them one by one in a bowl.

  7. 7

    Season the broth before pouring it onto spinach. Serve with a slice of sourdough bread or a bowl of sprouted multigrain rice. Super delicious with a perfect balance of nutrients but not greasy at all.

  8. 8

    To make it a meal soup, proteins such as chicken or turkey sausage can be added. It's better not adding strong flavor meat such as beef for it may overpower the delicacy of the spinach.

Craving for delicious foods drives me to be creative in my kitchen all the time. Thanks to my intolerance of all refine foods such as white flour, white rice and sugar, transition to use whole grains through sourdough fermentation, soaking and sprouting seeds has opened a whole new world to me! All my recipes share the same principle of low fat/oil, almost no added sugar/honey, whole grains and as much fermentation Incorporated as possible to unlock its nutritional value and plus lots of made ahead secret ingredients that I've learned over the years. In my pantry, you'll always found stocks of ancient grains (spelt, kamut, millet), brown rice in various varieties, jars of dry beans in multiple color and shapes. Kimchi made with all kinds of seasonal veggies in my fridge and homemade stocks in my freezer all the time. Join me on this journey eat whole 2 thrive!
