Introducing a super simple and nutritious Chinese-style side dish, ‘Spinach and Egg Stir-fry,’ from Chef Baek Jong-won’s recipes. It’s a healthy and quick meal perfect for any occasion!
Main Ingredients- 5 eggs
- 1/2 bunch spinach (approx. 150g)
- 2 stalks green onion (white part only, approx. 100g)
Seasonings- 5 pinches + 1 pinch salt
- 2 pinches sugar
- A dash of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1/5 cup cooking oil (approx. 40ml)
- 5 pinches + 1 pinch salt
- 2 pinches sugar
- A dash of black pepper
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1/5 cup cooking oil (approx. 40ml)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, finely chop the green onions, focusing on the white parts. Wash the spinach thoroughly and cut it into roughly 5 equal lengths (about 5cm each).
Step 2
In a bowl, crack the 5 eggs. Add 5 pinches of salt and 2 pinches of sugar. Whisk everything together until well combined. Adding sugar helps to neutralize any eggy odor and enhances the flavor.
Step 3
Heat a wok or frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1/5 cup of cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, pour in the whisked eggs to make scrambled eggs. Cook until just set, then gently break them into bite-sized pieces. Remove the scrambled eggs from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
Using the same pan with the remaining oil, add the chopped green onions. Stir-fry over medium-low heat until the onions are fragrant and lightly golden brown, creating aromatic scallion oil.
Step 5
Add the prepared spinach to the pan with the scallion oil. Sprinkle with an additional pinch of salt. Stir-fry gently just until the spinach wilts. Be careful not to overcook, as it can become mushy.
Step 6
Return the cooked scrambled eggs to the pan with the spinach. Toss them together gently. Finally, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil for an extra nutty aroma. Your delicious Spinach and Egg Stir-fry is now ready!
Step 7
Voila! Chef Baek Jong-won’s Chinese-style ‘Spinach and Egg Stir-fry’ is complete. This dish combines the health benefits of spinach with the protein-rich eggs, creating a wonderfully nutritious side dish.
Step 8
The soft scrambled eggs and the fragrant spinach sautéed in scallion oil create a delightful harmony of flavors. It’s delicious on its own, but if you add a little gochujang (Korean chili paste) and mix it with rice, it becomes an incredibly tasty bibimbap-style meal!
