Delicious Rolled Omelet with Seaweed
How to Make a Tasty Rolled Omelet with Seaweed: A Delicious Egg Dish
Let’s make a delicious side dish of rolled omelet with seaweed. It’s a flavorful and nutritious addition to any meal!
Ingredients
- 5 large eggs
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 Tbsp cooking wine (mirin or similar)
- Finely chopped carrot
- Finely chopped green onion
- 2-3 sheets of seasoned laver (gim) or plain laver
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the carrot and green onion for a vibrant color and aromatic flavor in your rolled omelet. Finely mince the carrot so it blends well with the eggs. Adjust the amount of green onion to your preference, but it’s best to chop them finely to avoid difficulty when rolling the omelet later.
Step 2
Crack 5 large eggs into a wide bowl. Remove the chalazae (the white stringy bits) and whisk them gently until smooth. Add a pinch of salt to eliminate any eggy smell and 1 tablespoon of cooking wine (like mirin) for enhanced flavor.
Step 3
Add the finely chopped carrot and green onion to the egg mixture. Stir well with a fork or whisk until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Ensure the vegetables are dispersed throughout the egg batter.
Step 4
Now, let’s start rolling the omelet! Pour a thin layer of the egg mixture into a heated non-stick pan. Once the edges begin to set, gently roll it up from one side. Roll it halfway first to create space for the seaweed. Slide the rolled omelet to one side of the pan. You can use seasoned Korean laver (gim) for an extra savory kick, or plain laver for a milder taste.
Step 5
With the rolled omelet to the side, pour another thin layer of egg mixture into the empty space of the pan and spread it out. Once it starts to cook, place the laver on top and roll the omelet up again, incorporating the laver. Repeat this process until all the egg mixture is used. Layering 2-3 sheets of laver will help create a sturdy and beautiful shape. Korean lunchbox-sized laver sheets are particularly convenient for making rolled omelets.
Step 6
Once the omelet is fully rolled, move it to the edge of the pan. Gently press it down on all sides over low heat to ensure it’s cooked through and holds its shape. Your thick and appetizing rolled omelet with seaweed is now complete! ♬
