Crab Stick Rolled Omelet Recipe: A Simple and Delicious Lunchbox Side Dish Addition
Introducing the Crab Stick Rolled Omelet recipe, where tender crab sticks and fluffy eggs come together to create a fantastic lunchbox side dish. This guide provides detailed steps and tips suitable for beginners. We’ll also share two ways to enjoy it as a Crab Stick Pancake!
Main Ingredients- Crab sticks (or imitation crab meat) 2 sticks
- Eggs 3
- Salt (or seasoned salt) a pinch
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
For the rolled omelet, two crab sticks are usually enough to make a generous portion. Feel free to use your preferred type, such as imitation crab or regular crab sticks.
Step 2
If you plan to make a crab stick pancake, finely chop the crab sticks. For the rolled omelet, you can leave them whole and place them lengthwise, or chop them up to mix into the egg mixture.
Step 3
Crack three eggs into a bowl and whisk them well. This amount is ample for a single meal side dish. Season with salt (or seasoned salt), adding just a little to avoid making it too salty, and mix thoroughly. Add the chopped crab sticks to the egg mixture and combine evenly – your filling is now ready!
Step 4
If you’d like to add some color and extra flavor to your omelet, consider adding finely chopped green parts of scallions. They will create a beautiful green contrast and make the dish even more appealing.
Step 5
Heat a frying pan with a generous amount of oil. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it out as thinly as possible. Aim for a wide, even layer rather than a thick one.
Step 6
You can make two different dishes with this recipe! If you don’t roll the egg mixture and instead cook it until golden brown on both sides, you’ll have a ‘Crab Stick Pancake’. If you roll it up from one end, you’ll create the ‘Crab Stick Rolled Omelet’.
Step 7
Once you’ve rolled the omelet thickly, gently turn it over several times over low heat. This ensures that the inside cooks thoroughly without burning the outside. Don’t rush this step, as an undercooked center can be unpleasant.
Step 8
After the rolled omelet is fully cooked, let it cool slightly. Then, slice it into bite-sized pieces. You can cut it like sushi rolls or into larger portions, as you prefer.
Step 9
This Crab Stick Rolled Omelet, packed with crab sticks inside, looks and tastes wonderfully generous! It makes an excellent addition to any lunchbox. Discover a new way to enjoy crab stick dishes!
