Ingredients

  • 10 large Eggs
  • 6 cups Spinach
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce(optional)
  • 1 tbsp Rice vinegar(optional)
  • 2 tsp Cornstarch(optional)
  • 2 tbsp Neutral oil(optional)
  • 2 tbsp Green onions (chopped)(optional)
  • 1/4 tsp Salt(optional)
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Blanch spinach 30–60 seconds, drain, and squeeze very dry. Chop finely.

  2. 2

    Whisk 6 eggs with soy sauce, salt, pepper, and cornstarch (if using) to help crisping. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Whisk remaining 4 eggs separately as the “wrapper” batter for a thinner layer.

  4. 4

    Heat neutral oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

  5. 5

    Pour a thin layer of wrapper egg batter to form a small circle. When edges set, add a spoonful of spinach filling (mixed with chopped green onions if using).

  6. 6

    Fold over carefully or cover with another thin layer of egg to seal. Cook until golden on both sides, 2–3 minutes per side.

  7. 7

    Repeat until all batter and filling are used. Keep warm in a low oven (200°F/95°C).

  8. 8

    Mix rice vinegar (and a splash of soy sauce if desired) for a quick dipping sauce and serve.
