Gyeran Mari (Korean Rolled Omelette) Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (or water)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 carrot, finely grated or diced
- 1/4 bell pepper, finely diced (optional)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional)
How to make Gyeran Mari (Korean Rolled Omelette):
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or water), salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Prepare the Fillings: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of vegetable oil.
Sauté the green onions, carrot, and bell pepper (if using) until they are tender, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Omelette: Wipe the skillet clean and add a bit more oil. Heat over medium-low heat.
Pour a small amount of the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting to spread it evenly. Let it cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly runny.
Add Fillings: Sprinkle a portion of the sautéed vegetables and shredded cheese (if using) over the partially cooked egg.
Roll the Omelette: Using a spatula, carefully start rolling the omelette from one end to the other, creating a tight roll.
Move the rolled omelette to the edge of the skillet. Add a little more oil to the skillet and pour in more egg mixture, tilting to cover the surface. Let it cook until set, then roll the omelette again, incorporating the new layer of egg mixture.
Repeat: Continue this process until all the egg mixture is used and you have a well-formed rolled omelette.
Serve: Remove the omelette from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice into bite-sized pieces and serve warm.
Gyeran Mari is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course, side dish, or even as a snack. Its fluffy texture and savory fillings make it a delicious and satisfying treat.
