How to: Cook Spinach

Not one but two different ways that you could potentially ruin a good vegetable.
For sure, here are two more reasons as  to why I am still single.

#1 Stir fried
 Since there is only that much of miso soup I could humanely consume, I put the paste to good use by marinating the chicken in them. Chopped up some garlic and threw in some anchovies.

  1. Heat up some oil.
  2. Throw in the anchovies. They brown rather quickly so be sure to toss them around on low heat. You don't want to overfry them as it becomes a little too salty then. 
  3. Remove the fishies and fry up the garlic. 
  4. Add in the stalks because these take longer to cook. 
  5. Add the chicken. 
  6. Add the leaves last. 
Simple right?

While this is by no means a very complicated dish, the miso  taste really shone through in the meat. Super duper loved this. Initial plan was to keep half for lunch the next day but I cleaned it all up in one go :D

#2 Soup
 How lazy could I get? Very.
  1. Fry up the anchovies and garlic together.  Don't bother to separate them since it'll be used as stock for the soup. 
  2. Add the chicken and fry until they've all turned white on the outside. 
  3. Throw in some water and let it simmer. 
  4. Add in the leaves next. Turn down the heat and let it simmer on for few more minutes. 
  5. Add chicken egg and salted egg. Remember to beat the eggs into the soup unless you like clumps of eggs.
This one is good for rainy lazy day.
