Trio Eggs Spinach in Superior Broth is a dish which is so simple and inexpensive to whip up at home.  In a restaurant, you will most like pay about S$18.00++ for the dish, whereas at home you will pay much lesser for the ingredients and get a more nutritional dish that is free from artificial flavourings and MSG.

My humble superior broth is made from pork bones, chicken bones, and chicken feet. I brought it to a boil and then lowered the heat and simmered it for at least 3 hours. I usually prepare a pot of such stock to keep on hand so that I can use them whenever I am doing a quick-fry, stir-fry, braised, or steamed dish. The flavour of all these dishes are enhanced by adding a splash of homemade stock.

Note: In our video, you can see that I blanched the spinach (see note below) but in this recipe I lightly stir-fried the spinach.
