Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Introducing our Chive Rolled Omelet recipe. This simple dish will result in a wonderfully elegant side dish!
Step 2
First, crack 6 fresh eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of fine salt for seasoning. Using chopsticks, whisk the eggs thoroughly until the yolks and whites are well combined. Whisking until slightly frothy will result in a softer omelet.
Step 3
Wash the chives, pat them dry, and finely mince them. Mix the minced chives into the whisked egg mixture. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat and lightly grease it. Pour about one-third of the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it thinly. As the egg begins to set, gently lift the edges and tilt the pan to allow the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
Step 4
Once the omelet is partially cooked, carefully begin to roll it up from one end, similar to making sushi. After each roll, push the rolled portion to one side of the pan, pour in another portion of the egg mixture, and spread it thinly. Repeat this process of pouring and rolling, layering the cooked omelet. This technique will create a thick and satisfying rolled omelet.
Step 5
After all the egg mixture has been used and rolled, shape the omelet using a sushi mat or parchment paper. While still warm, tightly roll the omelet in the mat to create a neat, rectangular shape when sliced. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the shape to set.
Step 6
Remove the shaped omelet from the mat and place it on a cutting board. To ensure clean slices, you can lightly wet your knife with water or apply a little oil. Slice the omelet diagonally at an angle, about 1 to 1.5 cm thick, for a more appealing presentation.
Step 7
Arrange the beautifully sliced chive rolled omelet on a serving plate. It’s delicious served warm, but it also holds its texture well when cooled, making it an excellent option for packed lunches.
Step 8
Your delicious Chive Rolled Omelet is ready! Enjoy this flavorful and satisfying dish as a hearty meal or a thoughtfully prepared side dish.
