Essential Ingredients- 4-5 eggs
- 2 sticks of imitation crab meat
- 1 Tbsp mirin (or cooking sake)
- A little bit of chives (or the white part of green onions)
- A little bit of carrot
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Crack the fresh eggs into a bowl. Separate the yolks from the whites, then gently whisk them together with a fork or whisk until smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 2
If you’d like to add more vibrant colors to your omelet, finely chop the chives (or the white part of green onions) and carrot, and mix them into the egg whites. (Optional)
Step 3
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting – this ensures a soft, non-burnt omelet. Pour in the whisked egg whites and spread them thinly.
Step 4
Once the egg white starts to set, lay the imitation crab sticks lengthwise on top. Layering the crab sticks can create a more satisfying texture. (Optional) For even more color, you can place a sheet of laver (nori) over the crab sticks. Cut the laver to fit the pan size.
Step 5
When the egg white is cooked, carefully start rolling it from one edge of the pan. The first roll is important for shaping the omelet nicely.
Step 6
Slide the rolled egg white to one side of the pan. Pour the egg yolks into the remaining space in 2-3 additions. Pouring in stages helps control the thickness of the omelet.
Step 7
Gently roll the new layer of egg yolk around the existing rolled white, encasing it. Tilt the pan to help shape it as you roll.
Step 8
If there’s any remaining egg yolk, pour it into the pan and repeat the rolling process until all the egg is cooked through. Continue to roll gently until the entire omelet is fully cooked.
Step 9
Transfer the finished crab stick rolled omelet to a bamboo mat or cutting board and let it cool completely. Cutting it while hot can cause it to crumble. Once cooled, slice it into bite-sized pieces for a delicious side dish.
