Soft Indonesian-Style Omelet
How to Make a Simple and Delicious Indonesian Omelet
Introducing a recipe for Indonesian-style omelets that you can easily make at home. While it visually resembles a Korean-style fried egg pancake, its charm lies in its sweet flavor and soft texture. It’s perfect for breakfast or a light snack.
Main Ingredients- 2 fresh eggs
- 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 10g butter
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 2 fresh eggs in a clean bowl. Do not separate the yolks and whites; place them together in the bowl. Using a fork or whisk, gently beat the eggs until they are smooth and no longer have a stringy texture. Be careful not to create too much foam, and mix until the eggs are evenly combined without lumps.
Step 2
Once the eggs are beaten, add 1/2 tablespoon of granulated sugar and whisk again until well combined. The sugar will dissolve completely into the egg mixture, adding a subtle sweetness and contributing to a tender texture. Avoid whisking too vigorously, as this can cause the omelet to burn easily. Mix gently just enough to dissolve the sugar.
Step 3
Now it’s time to cook. Place 10g of butter in a frying pan heated over medium heat. The butter will melt slowly, adding a rich, nutty aroma. To ensure the butter coats the pan evenly, you can tilt the pan slightly or spread it with a spatula or chopsticks.
Step 4
When the butter is fully melted and just starting to foam, carefully pour the prepared egg mixture into the pan. Gently swirl the pan to spread the egg mixture thinly and evenly across the surface. Reduce the heat to medium-low. As the edges of the egg begin to set, use a spatula to gently stir and cook. Cooking over high heat can cause the outside to burn while the inside remains uncooked. Therefore, cooking slowly over low heat is the secret to a tender omelet. Once it’s lightly golden brown, transfer to a plate and enjoy!
