Main Ingredients
- 100g fresh spinach (about one handful)
- 3 fresh eggs (large size)
- 20g butter (approx. 1.5 Tbsp)
- Pinch of salt, to taste
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the fresh spinach under running water to remove any dirt or debris. Gently shake off excess water. If the stems are thick, you can chop them into bite-sized pieces for easier eating.
Step 2
In a bowl, crack the 3 fresh eggs. Add a tiny pinch of salt for balanced flavor. Whisk gently with chopsticks or a fork until the yolk and white are just combined. Avoid over-whisking; a gentle mix is best.
Step 3
Heat a medium-sized pan over low heat and add a small amount of cooking oil. Add the prepared spinach to the pan, sprinkle a tiny bit more salt, and stir-fry over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts. Be careful not to overcook, as you want to retain its fresh flavor.
Step 4
Once the spinach has wilted slightly, add the 20g of butter to the pan. Keep the heat on low and allow the butter to melt completely, coating the spinach.
Step 5
When the butter has melted and is mixed with the spinach, slowly pour the beaten egg mixture into the empty spaces of the pan. As the egg begins to set at the bottom, gently scramble it with a spatula, as if stirring with chopsticks, to break it into smaller pieces and mix it evenly with the spinach. Avoid creating large clumps of egg.
Step 6
Once the eggs are cooked and well combined with the spinach, your delicious Spinach and Egg Stir-fry is ready! Serve warm and enjoy. It’s a wonderful side dish for rice or a delightful brunch option with toast.
