"Inspired by Harumi Kurihara, Elizabeth Andoh and Hiroko Kimbo. This dish represents Asian home cooking, while staying true to the principles of Washoku cooking (by incorporating a variety of colors in this dish, and using different cooking methods). Inspired by Shiroki Kimbo, who I watched at a cooking demonstration, I tried my best to cut my vegetables and the egg crepe as finely as possible...."
