Spinach with 3 egg recipe

This dish is one of my wife favourite dish and also my parents, so i normally do this dish when they are over here. It is really a simple dish to do.

The main ingredients are

1. 1 bunch -Spinach more if you like...
2. 3 pieces of garlic or more if you like ( dont chop) but remove the white outer skin
3. Normal egg
4. Century egg - chopped
5. Salted egg
6. Chicken stock - can use chicken cube or canned soup
8 Fish sauce
9. Fried shallots
10 - Cornflour and with water

The trick to making sure this dish taste nice is to make sure the Spinach is cooked properly as spinach has this sandy taste, which some people do not like. Of course make sure the veg is washed.

Cooking method

1. Heat the wok with some oil

2. Put in the garlic ( make sure its not too hot.. if not the garlic will burn.) - The aim is to get the garlic taste into the oil with out burning the garlic

- The restaurant method... would then require you to take out the garlic once its abit brown...
- Then heat the wok up till its there you can see some smoke from the wok

3 Throw the spinach into the hot wok and start frying... also put in some fish sauce and the garlic pieces. Allow the spinach to wilt a little before pouring in the chicken stock.

** How much stock to use is personal preference i think.. i like mine abit towards the soupy side... as i like to drink the soup.. after.

4. But i will allow the veg to simmer with the stock for at least 2 min... ( if you like it thicker add abit of cornflour- but u can leave it as it is... too... i like more like soup ** also check the soup... and season to taste... using either chicken cube or fish sauce...


The egg sequence is also impt... so that you get the same texture as the restaurant

5 I put in the salted egg.. first and break it into the soup... and allow the veg to absorb the salted egg taste

6. Then i put in the chopped century egg

7. Lastly i break the normal egg into the wok stir it in ... I leave it on for only another 20 sec after that and shut the fire and allow the heat to cook the egg..

To garnish... some places use Fried shallot


This dish is simple to make, its about timing and mostly the seasoning. Its hard to get wrong.
