Rolled Omelette Cake Ingredients
- 5 eggs
- 50g oyster mushrooms
- 1 red bell pepper (or use other colorful vegetables like carrots or green onions for variety)
- 2 Korean chili peppers (or mild green peppers)
- 30g green onions (scallions)
- Pinch of salt
- Cooking oil
- Ketchup
- A few herb leaves (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Step 1: Prepare Ingredients and Egg Mixture
First, prepare your vegetables. Trim the base of the oyster mushrooms and finely chop them. Wash and finely mince the Korean chili peppers and green onions. For the red bell pepper, remove the seeds and ribs, then dice it finely to add vibrant color. Next, crack 5 eggs into a large bowl. Add a pinch of salt and whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are well combined and smooth.
Step 2
Step 2: Create the Colorful Vegetable Egg Mixture
Add the finely chopped oyster mushrooms, Korean chili peppers, green onions, and red bell pepper to the whisked egg mixture. Stir everything together well to ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed. This step is key to achieving a beautiful, multi-colored omelette once it’s rolled.
Step 3
Step 3: Cook the Rolled Omelette (Part 1)
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a wide frying pan over medium-low heat. Pour about one-third of the vegetable-egg mixture into the pan and spread it thinly. As the egg begins to set, carefully start rolling it from one edge towards the center. Rolling it tightly will help maintain a nice shape. Once rolled, gently push the omelette to one side of the pan. Add a little more oil to the empty space, pour in another third of the egg mixture, and let it spread. Once it starts to cook, pull the previously rolled omelette forward and continue rolling it with the new layer. Repeat this process a third time, incorporating all the egg mixture to create a thick, layered rolled omelette.
Step 4
Step 4: Shape and Slice the Omelette
Once the rolled omelette is complete and nicely browned, let it cool slightly on the pan or a plate. This resting period will make it easier to slice. Now, cut the omelette into desired portions. For the ‘cake’ effect, slicing them into triangular shapes (like cake slices) or even rounds works beautifully. To ensure clean cuts and prevent sticking, you can lightly dampen your knife with water between slices.
Step 5
Step 5: Plate and Garnish
Arrange the sliced rolled omelette pieces on a serving plate, stacking them artfully like a cake. For a final touch, drizzle a bit of ketchup in the center or artfully place a few herb leaves on top for decoration. Your visually appealing and delicious Rolled Omelette ‘Cake’ is now ready to be enjoyed!
