Ingredients

  • 5 ounces lean boneless pork
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 ounces baby spinach leaves
  • 12 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon dried wood ear mushrooms, soaked
  • 14 teaspoon white pepper, ground
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 4 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 4 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade and unsalted (can substitute vegetable broth)

Method

  • Cut the pork into fine slivers.
  • Wash the spinach well, drain, and cut into 1 1/4 inch (3 cm) slices.
  • Blanch spinach in boiling water briefly and drain.
  • Break the wood ears into small pieces.
  • Heat the stock in a pot.
  • Add the pork, wood ears, soy sauce, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil.
