Ingredients
- 10 large Eggs
- 8 Spinach
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce (or tamari)
- 1 tbsp Mirin (or a splash of rice vinegar + a pinch of sweetener)(optional)
- 1 tsp Sugar (or low-carb sweetener)(optional)
- 1/4 cup Dashi (or chicken broth)(optional)
- 1 tbsp Neutral oil (or butter)
- pinch Salt(optional)
Instructions
- 1
Wilt spinach until just tender, squeeze dry, and chop very finely.

Whisk eggs with soy sauce, mirin (if using), sugar/sweetener (if using), and dashi/broth (if using). Add a pinch of salt if needed.
- 3
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low and lightly oil.
- 4
Pour a thin layer of egg into the pan and cook until set at the edges but still slightly soft on top, 1-2 minutes.
- 5
Lift and roll the layer toward one side. Add a small amount of spinach along the rolled edge, then pour another thin layer of egg to seal.

Repeat rolling and layering until all egg is used, keeping heat low to prevent browning.
