Slice or rip spinach leaves and soak in water

Slice carrots and rinse

Slice shallot and garlic thinly

Drop carrots into the pot and bring to boil. Once fully boiling, for 5 minutes (covered), drop in spinach, followed with sliced shallot and garlic

Season with sugar, salt, and msg if using. Soup should be a tad sweet in flavor, but balanced to the salt.

Serve with warm rice or as is!
