ingredients
- 2 1⁄2 cups spinach (finely chopped)
- 1⁄2 cup fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
- 1 green onion (finely chopped)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 egg (beaten)

directions
- Chop spinach, cilantro, and green onion. The more finely you can chop the greens, the better. Discard the cilantro stems.

- Add the egg and mix well. The amount of egg is the most important for this recipe. The egg should lightly coat the greens.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a non-stick frying pan.
- Spread the mixture in the hot pan. Use a rubber spatula to make sure the mixture is spread evenly and that it is patted flat on top.
- Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes on one side. Cut with a spatula into 4 wedges and allow oil to run between the wedges. Cook 5-10 minuntes more, or until the cooked side is golden brown.
- Turn wedges over, and cook the other side for 5-10 minutes, until it is fully cooked and lightly brown.

I'd describe myself as enthusiastic and sometimes eccentric. I teach English in China, and it's an awesome job. As for my cooking philosophy, I like easy things that might take a long time to cook, but only need occasional tending (like bread or dals). Lately, I've been very interested in healthy substitutions to make dishes with less fat and/or more fiber. I've been experimenting with making tasty recipes that are free of processed sugars and flour. Since moving to China, I've found myself without an oven and without access to common ingredients, like Bisquick and vanilla ext., so I'm currently looking for breads or cakes that I can cook in a crockpot. I only post recipes that I have tried, and many are recipes that I have created myself.
