Description
Gyeran Mari is a Korean-style rolled egg omelet made with finely chopped vegetables. It’s a simple and delicious side dish often enjoyed in Korean meals and lunchboxes.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp milk (optional, for fluffier texture)
- 1 tbsp carrot, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp green onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp red bell pepper, finely chopped (optional)
- 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
- Cooking oil for pan
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them well.
- Add milk (if using), salt, and all the finely chopped vegetables to the eggs. Mix thoroughly.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and lightly oil it.
- Pour a thin layer of the egg mixture into the pan and swirl to coat evenly.
- Once the bottom sets but the top is still slightly wet, begin rolling the egg from one side to the other using a spatula or chopsticks.
- Push the rolled egg to one side of the pan and lightly oil the empty part again.
- Pour more of the egg mixture into the pan, lifting the rolled egg so the new mixture flows underneath it.
- When the new layer is mostly set, roll the existing egg roll over the new layer.
- Repeat the process until all of the egg mixture is used.
- Let the rolled omelet cool slightly, then slice it into bite-sized pieces and serve.
Notes
- Chop vegetables very finely to ensure even cooking and easier rolling.
- Use a rectangular or square pan if available for best results.
- Cook on medium-low heat to avoid browning and to keep the color vibrant.
- You can customize with other vegetables or add cheese and ham for variation.
