The green and yellow spiral is nutritious and striking. Earthy spinach and sweet egg are a classic pair. The challenge is spinach moisture: if squeezed 'dry', you get a beautiful layered roll rich in vitamins that doesn't soak itself.

Instructions

1 ✓

Blanch spinach in boiling water for 30 secs, shock in ice water. Squeeze out water forcefully, then chop.

Tip: Shocking keeps color; squeezing prevents ruining egg structure.
2 ✓

Beat eggs with dashi, sugar, soy sauce, salt. Strain.

Tip: Straining = yellow color.
3 ✓

Heat pan, oil. Pour first layer. When half-cooked, spread spinach in a line at far end.

Tip: Form a cylinder core.
4 ✓

Roll up tightly.

Tip: Avoid air pockets.
5 ✓

Continue layering plain egg. Don't add more spinach.

Tip: Yellow layers frame the green core.
6 ✓

Remove, wrap in bamboo mat to cool/shape.

Tip: Bamboo mat 'irons' out imperfections.
