Main Ingredients
- 2 Bibigo Mandu (Korean dumplings)
- 1 bowl (approx. 200g) cooked rice, warm
- 1/3 stalk green onion, white part only
- 2 fresh eggs
- 2 Tbsp Tonkatsu (pork cutlet) sauce
- Cooking oil, as needed
- A pinch of sesame seeds
- A little sesame oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. Prepare the ingredients: Finely chop the white part of the green onion. In a bowl, crack the 2 eggs and lightly beat them with a fork or whisk until the stringy whites are broken up. Having everything prepped will make the cooking process much smoother.
Step 2
2. Make the dumpling fried rice (Part 1): Heat 1 Tbsp of cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add the chopped green onions and sauté until fragrant. Once the aroma releases, add the Bibigo Mandu. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to break apart and mash the dumplings as they cook, stirring until the filling becomes crumbly and lightly browned. Maintain medium-low heat throughout this step.
Step 3
3. Make the dumpling fried rice (Part 2): Add the warm cooked rice to the pan with the fried dumplings. Use your spatula to break up any clumps of rice and stir-fry until the rice is well combined with the dumplings and has a slightly toasted, fluffy texture. Turn off the heat and drizzle in a little sesame oil for added fragrance and flavor. Mix gently to finish the fried rice.
Step 4
4. Create the swirl omelet: Now for the signature swirl omelet! Heat a clean non-stick pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Pour in the beaten egg mixture, tilting the pan so it forms a thin, even layer. Immediately reduce the heat to low. Using chopsticks in your right hand, stir the egg mixture in a circular motion from the edges towards the center (like moving from 9 o’clock to 1 o’clock). Simultaneously, with your left hand, gently rotate the pan 360 degrees. The combination of stirring and rotating will create a beautiful swirled pattern as the egg cooks. Be careful not to overcook the egg; it should remain soft and moist.
Step 5
5. Assemble and serve: Carefully transfer the dumpling fried rice onto a serving plate. Gently place the prepared swirl omelet on top of the rice. Drizzle with Tonkatsu sauce, and garnish with the chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor.
