300g of all-purpose flour
120ml of water
For the meat:
200g of ground pork

1.5l of pork broth
A handful of spinach
2 eggs
Equipment
3 large bowls
Cling wrap
1 pot
Directions
Combine the egg, salt, oil, and flour in a large bowl.
Mix and gradually add water until it becomes a dough. Knead the dough, shape it into a ball, cover it with cling wrap, and set it aside for 1 hour.
Divide the dough into 4 to 6 portions as it’ll be easier to work with, and work with each dough one at a time. Also, cover the rest of the dough to prevent them from drying out.
Boil a pot of water and start tearing off small pieces of dough. Flatten the dough with your fingers and blanch them in boiling water.
Cook the mee hoon kueh for 1 minute, transfer them to a large bowl and set them aside.
Marinate the ground pork with salt, pepper, sesame oil, and cornflour in a large bowl and set aside.
Heat the oil in a pot over medium heat, add the minced garlic and mushrooms, and stir-fry until fragrant.
Add the pork broth and the marinated ground pork and bring it to a boil.
Add the blanched mee hoon kueh and spinach into the broth.
Once the spinach is cooked, crack the eggs into the soup.
Serve once the eggs are cooked.
