Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, tapioca starch, and salt. Gradually add water while whisking until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
2. Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil. Lightly grease a flat steaming tray or a heatproof plate.
3. Pour a thin layer of batter onto the greased tray, making sure it covers the bottom evenly. Steam for 4-5 minutes until set.
4. Spread a portion of the chopped spinach, julienned carrot, and a drizzle of beaten egg over the steamed batter. Steam for another 2-3 minutes until the egg is cooked.
5. Carefully roll the steamed mixture from one end to the other to form a log. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter and fillings.
