- Plate and top with soy sauce.
Tamago

- Heat oil on a frying pan on medium heat.
- Pour a little bit of egg mixture to form a thin layer. Cook until sets but still soft on top.
- Start rolling the top of the egg into a log from one side to the other.
- Once you reach the end, move to the top of the pan and repeat but start rolling from the top of the tamago.
Spinach
- Heat spinach on frying pan on medium heat. Sweat out the excess liquid by adding salt. Cook until wilted and drain. Plate and top with soy sauce
