Stir Fried Spinach with Century Egg 皮蛋菠菜


Bit Bit wanted to have century egg for dinner, and since there is some leftover baby spinach in the fridge, Bit Bit decided to make stir fried spinach with century egg. It is one of Bit Bit's favourite.

This dish took about 15 minutes, fast and easy.

Things that Bit Bit found out about stir fried spinach with century egg:
  • Using baby spinach makes it easier to chew and tastier, than adult spinach.
  • Normally chicken stock will be used to cook the spinach, but it still tastes yummy without it.
  • To have a little bit of the century egg taste in the 'soup', mash up the century egg yolk slightly.
  • To remove the century egg from its shell and the exterior clay wrapping it, just knock the whole egg slightly like cracking a normal egg. One can peel the exterior clay and shell easily after cracking it.
