Key Ingredients- 150g fresh seaweed (Gamtae)
- 8 fresh eggs
- 1 Tbsp fine salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Gently rinse the fresh seaweed under cold running water to clean it. A light wash, about 2-3 times, is sufficient to remove any dust or debris.
Step 2
In a large bowl, crack the 8 eggs and beat them well, removing the chalazae (white stringy bits). Add the prepared seaweed to the eggs. If the seaweed strands are long, use kitchen scissors to cut them into bite-sized pieces. Mix everything together gently once more until well combined.
Step 3
Season the egg and seaweed mixture with salt. While soy sauce or fish sauce can be used, adding only salt is best to preserve the beautiful green color of the omelet. Adjust the saltiness to your preference.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with a small amount of oil and wipe it with a paper towel to create a non-stick surface. Once the pan is sufficiently hot, pour about half a ladleful of the egg mixture thinly and begin to roll it up. Repeat this process, adding another half ladleful of egg mixture at a time and rolling, to create a thick and appetizing egg roll.
Step 5
It’s crucial to start rolling when the egg mixture isn’t overflowing the pan. After rolling it once, gently push the rolled egg to the side of the pan. The uncooked egg mixture will naturally flow into the empty space, layering and encasing the roll, allowing you to create a thicker omelet. Don’t worry if it seems like a lot of egg – this technique builds the thickness. Cooking over medium-low heat ensures it cooks through without burning.
Step 6
Once the thick egg roll is formed, move it to the edge of the pan. Gently roll it in various directions, cooking all sides evenly. Lightly pressing down on the sides and top as you turn it will help achieve a uniform shape and ensure the entire omelet is well-cooked.
Step 7
After the gamtae egg roll is nicely browned on all sides, let it cool slightly on a plate before slicing. Slicing it while piping hot can cause it to break apart, so allowing it to cool for a few minutes will help maintain its neat shape when cut.
Step 8
Here is the sliced gamtae egg roll. Notice the beautiful vibrant green color from the abundant seaweed! The subtle aroma of the sea is truly enticing.
Step 9
Your sea-scented gamtae egg roll is complete! This delicious omelet is a perfect option for a diet meal or for boosting nutrition. For a different taste, you can also dip it in ketchup. Enjoy your meal!
