Dried herbs can be used for convenience and cost.

Thinly slice scallion tops lengthwise and soak them in ice cold water to get them crispy and curled.

Prep the poached eggs by filling a pot 3/4 of the way with water, bringing it to a boil, and seasoning with salt and white vinegar.

Give the water a twirl and crack the egg in, cooking for about 2 to 3 minutes.

Transfer the poached egg to a paper towel and repeat for the second egg.

Curl the potatoes using a Japanese vegetable turner or spiralizer.

Fry the curly potatoes in cooking oil at around 350°F until golden brown, shaping them to create space for the eggs.

Season the potatoes with salt and dried provincial herbs.

Pat off moisture from the soaked greens and dress them with olive oil, curled lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.

To plate, place the fried potatoes down first, create a nest with the dressed greens, and place the poached eggs in the middle.

Top the dish with coarse black pepper and crunchy salt.
