Directions
1. Prep the Ingredients:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until smooth.
- Stir in the chopped carrots, green onions, and seasonings (plus sugar if desired).
2. Heat the Pan:
- Lightly grease a non-stick pan with a little oil. Set the heat to medium-low to avoid overcooking the eggs.
3. Cook the First Layer:
- Pour just enough egg mixture into the pan to cover the bottom in a thin layer.
- Allow the bottom to set while the top stays slightly wet.
4. Start Rolling:
- Use a spatula on one side and your hand on the other to gently lift and roll the edge of the omelette toward the center.
5. Add More Egg Mixture:
- Push the rolled omelette to one side of the pan. Pour another thin layer of egg mixture into the empty side, letting it attach to the roll.
- Once the new layer sets, roll it up again.
6. Repeat Until Done:
- Continue adding egg mixture and rolling until all the batter is used. Remove the finished roll from the pan and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
7. Slice and Serve:
- Cut the roll into bite-sized pieces and serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips for Success
- Low Heat: Prevents browning and keeps the omelette tender.
- Smaller Pan: Ideal for thicker, more uniform rolls.
- Roll Carefully: Light pressure helps keep the roll intact.
How to Serve
Korean Egg Roll is versatile and pairs beautifully with:
- Steamed rice and a side of kimchi for a traditional meal.
- Other Korean banchan (side dishes) for a colorful spread.
