Directions

Step 1

Fill a medium saucepan with 5 cups of water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and stir.

Step 2

Crack each of the 4 eggs into separate small bowls or ramekins to ensure no shell bits remain.

Peel and mince 2 garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon of ginger. Thinly slice 1 cup of shiitake mushrooms and 2 stalks of green onions. Julienne 1 medium carrot.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the shiitake mushrooms and carrot to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Step 7

Add 4 cups of spinach leaves to the skillet and toss until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar, 0.5 teaspoon of red chili flakes, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.

Step 9

Divide the sautéed vegetables evenly onto two plates to create an Asiatic bed.
