Ingredients- 3 fresh eggs
- 1 handful of green onion (finely chopped)
- 4 sheets of seasoned seaweed (gim)
- 2 pinches of salt
- Cooking oil (for frying)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash about a handful of fresh green onions, pat them dry, and finely chop them into about 0.5cm pieces. This will add a fragrant flavor.
Step 2
Crack 3 fresh eggs into a bowl. Add 2 pinches of salt to enhance the flavor. Use chopsticks or a whisk to break the egg yolks and blend until the whites and yolks are well combined and smooth.
Step 3
Add the pre-chopped green onions to the beaten egg mixture. Gently mix with a spoon, ensuring the fragrant aroma of the green onions is evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
Step 4
Pour a generous amount of cooking oil into the frying pan. If there isn’t enough oil, the egg can stick and ruin the shape, so be sure to use plenty. Heat the pan over medium-high heat for a moment, then reduce the heat to medium to ensure the egg cooks gently without burning.
Step 5
Pour the prepared egg mixture into the heated pan. Cook slowly over medium heat. Wait until the bottom layer is cooked, but the top layer is still moist and slightly unset. Be careful, as high heat will cause the egg to cook too quickly and make it difficult to handle.
Step 6
When the bottom layer is sufficiently cooked and the top is still moist, carefully arrange the 4 sheets of seasoned seaweed (gim) on top of the egg mixture. Gently press down to help the gim adhere to the egg.
Step 7
Now it’s time to carefully roll the omelet. Starting from one end of the pan, slowly and firmly roll the egg, wrapping the gim as you go. It’s crucial to handle it gently so the gim doesn’t tear.
Step 8
Once rolled, gently roll the omelet back and forth in the pan to lightly brown it on all sides. This helps the gim and egg adhere better and gives it an appetizing color.
Step 9
Transfer the finished Gim Rolled Omelet to a cutting board and let it cool slightly. If you cut it while it’s too hot, the egg may crumble, making the shape less appealing. Wait until it’s warm to the touch before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 10
Your delicious Gim Rolled Omelet, transformed into a wonderful side dish, is now complete! Serve it over warm rice and enjoy.
