Seaweed and Egg Roll: A Delicate Delight
Easy Homemade Seaweed Egg Roll using Dried Seaweed Blocks (Perfect Flavor Combination)
Make a simple yet delicious egg roll using convenient dried seaweed blocks. This dish offers a wonderful harmony of flavors.
Ingredients- 1 Dried Seaweed Block
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Pinches of Salt
- Cooking Oil, as needed
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Place the dried seaweed block in a bowl. Add just enough water to slightly cover the block, allowing the seaweed to rehydrate. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until softened. Gently squeeze out any excess water.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, crack 2 eggs. Add 2 pinches of salt to enhance the flavor and reduce any eggy smell. Whisk gently with chopsticks or a whisk until well combined, but avoid creating too much foam. Ensure there are no lumps of egg white remaining.
Step 3
Add the rehydrated seaweed to the whisked eggs. Gently mix them together, ensuring the seaweed is evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture. Be careful not to overmix, as this can break down the seaweed too much. You’ll notice the fresh aroma of seaweed mingling with the eggs.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Add a generous amount of cooking oil and spread it evenly across the pan using a paper towel to create a thin, non-stick layer. Pour the seaweed and egg mixture into the heated pan. Tilt the pan to spread the mixture thinly and evenly.
Step 5
Once the edges of the egg mixture begin to set, gently start rolling the egg from one side towards the other using chopsticks or a spatula. Continue to pour a little more egg mixture into the pan and repeat the rolling process as it cooks, gradually building up a thick and appetizing egg roll. Keep the heat on low to prevent burning.
Step 6
Once the egg roll is fully cooked, let it cool slightly. Then, slice it into bite-sized pieces, about 1.5 to 2 cm thick, for a pleasing presentation and texture. You can also skewer them for easier handling, especially for children.
Step 7
Your delightful Seaweed Egg Roll, with its fresh ocean fragrance and tender texture, is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve warm with rice, or pair with ketchup or mayonnaise for an extra touch of flavor.
