Egg Roll (Korean Rolled Omelette)
Egg Roll, also known as Gyeran-mari, is a delicious and silky Korean rolled omelette that's easy to prepare and perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Omelette Base
- 5 medium eggs Make sure they are at room temperature for a fluffier texture
- 1 whole green onion (chopped) Adds flavor and visual appeal
- 2 tbsp carrot (chopped or grated) Provides sweetness and color
- 1/4 tsp salt Enhances flavor
- 1/8 tsp black or white pepper Season to taste
- 1 tsp neutral oil For cooking the omelette
Instructions
Preparation
- Whisk eggs well with salt and pepper.
- Add the carrots and green onions and whisk again.
Cooking
- Heat a 10-inch non-stick pan with oil on low heat.
- Add 1/3 of the egg mixture and spread around the pan evenly.
- Lift the edges all the way around with a rice paddle or spatula, and begin to roll when the top is almost but not fully set.
- When you reach the last roll, gently pull the omelette to the other side of the pan and add another 1/3 of the egg mixture.
- Tilt the pan on both ends of the omelette so that the egg fills in the empty pockets.
- Roll and gently pull back the omelette again, then add the remaining 1/3 of the egg mixture and repeat.
- Rest on a cool surface for a couple of minutes, then cut into 6 to 8 pieces.
Notes
Serve hot or let cool and serve as a side dish. Garnish with sesame seeds or fresh herbs for extra appeal.
