• 1 inch ginger, thinly sliced
• 2 Indonesian bay leaves (Indonesian: daun salam), optional
• 600 gram (20 oz) spinach, washed and drained
• 200 gram (7 oz) tomato, diced
• salt, to taste

Instructions

1. Boil vegetable stock/chicken stock, corn, shallot, garlic, ginger, and Indonesian bay leaves in a pot over medium heat. Cook for 10 minutes.
2. Add spinach and tomato. Continue cooking until spinach wilts.
3. Turn off the heat. Season with salt if necessary. Serve immediately.

Notes

• (1) Substitute with 1 1⁄2 cup of canned/frozen corn kernels. There is no need to thaw frozen corn before using it. I usually add 1/2 cup of diced carrot to replicate the natural sweetness from fresh corn cobs.
