Lace Egg Roll Bouquet

This is the star of today's recipe: the Yellow Swan Hen Eggs, the only ones awarded the prestigious 'Nobel Prize' in the food industry and the 'Michelin' quality award. Regular eggs lack strict Salmonella control and may carry bacteria, which is why the Yellow Swan Eggs, meeting Japan's raw food standards and free from Salmonella, are the way to go for eating runny eggs!

On the left is a Yellow Swan Egg, while the right shows store-bought eggs. You can tell just by the color of the yolk—Yellow Swan Eggs have a more vibrant orange-yellow yolk and no fishy smell. I usually stock up on these eggs at home.

Crack one Yellow Swan Egg into a bowl, sift in some low-gluten flour, and add 2 grams of sugar. Use a whisk to mix in a zigzag pattern to avoid gluten formation.

Sift the batter to ensure it's smooth.

Add melted butter to the mixture.

Mix it all together in a zigzag motion until well combined.

Transfer the batter into a piping bag.

Tighten the end of the piping bag and let it rest to allow air bubbles to dissipate. Look at that beautiful orange-yellow batter made with Yellow Swan Eggs!

Use a non-stick pan without adding oil, heating it until it's slightly warm to the touch. If it feels just a little hot, you can start piping the batter. Do not pipe onto a cold pan, as the patterns will spread unevenly.

Cut a small opening (about 3mm) in the piping bag. Pipe circles onto the pan. Mine aren't perfect yet; with practice, you'll get better! Observe the batter as it sets—it takes about 2-3 minutes. If cooked longer, it becomes brittle and harder to fold.

Gently use a spatula to transfer the lace circles to a plate, adding some bittersweet greens or lettuce.

Add a sliced, cooked crispy sausage and halved cherry tomatoes.

Drizzle with salad dressing, or you can use ketchup.

Fold the sides in and tie it up with a ribbon. Voila!

Adjust the sugar amount for sweeter lace egg rolls—this involves rolling your lace circles. Preheat the oven to 150 degrees Celsius for 5-8 minutes; they will become crisp when cooled! If you add some purple sweet potato flour while mixing the batter, you can create pink and purple lace egg rolls. By combining different colored batters, you can make beautiful gradient-effect lace egg rolls.

You can also wrap them to make lace egg roll wraps! This is one I made earlier.
