Spinach Soup with Salted Duck Eggs

Ingredients

• 2 salted duck eggs
• ½ tablespoon Shaoxing wine or sake
• 3 cups low sodium vegetable stock or chicken stock ((see Notes for more information))
• 10.5 oz mature spinach, cut into 2-3 inch long pieces
• 1 tablespoon goji berries, rinsed

Steps

1. 1

   Separate the yolks from the whites. Keep 1 egg white and discard the other. Cut each yolk into 3–4 pieces, then drizzle the Shaoxing wine (or sake) over the yolks.

2. 2

   Bring vegetable stock or chicken stock to a boil. Then add the reserved egg white and yolk pieces. Cook up to 2 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the spinach and bring the soup back to a boil. You should cook quickly, about 2 minutes, just until the spinach is tender but still has some pleasant bite.

4. 4

   Add the goji berries and then turn off the heat. Transfer the soup to serving bowls and serve right away.
