Note

To make the cornstarch paste, mix 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 1 teaspoon of cold water until smooth before adding to the hot broth.

For easier poaching, you can create a gentle vortex in the water before adding the egg to help the white wrap around the yolk.

If you prefer a richer broth, you can use a higher-quality chicken stock or add a dash of white pepper.

Leftover noodles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water or broth.

You can substitute the ham with cooked chicken breast or shrimp for a different protein variation.

Ensure the spinach is thoroughly drained to prevent the broth from becoming watery.
