Ingredients
- 6 Eggs
- 1/4 Onion
- 1 Sheet Gamté (seaweed)
- Plenty of Scallions
- A pinch of Salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Let’s begin with the recipe for our special ‘Rolled Omelet Flower,’ made with fragrant gamté and plenty of crisp vegetables. It’s beautiful to look at and delicious to eat, sure to be loved by everyone.
Step 2
First, prepare the carrot to add color to our rolled omelet. Wash about 1/4 of a carrot, peel it, and then finely grind it in a blender or food processor until it forms a smooth puree. Grinding it finely like a puree will help it mix well with the egg mixture and create a lovely color.
Step 3
Crack 6 eggs into a bowl and separate the whites from the yolks. In the bowl with the egg whites, add the finely pureed carrot, chopped scallions, and torn gamté. Finally, add a pinch of salt and mix everything together well.
Step 4
Gently whisk the mixture to allow the gamté’s aroma to infuse into the egg mixture and to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined without clumps. You can tear the gamté into slightly larger pieces to retain some texture, if desired. Avoid overmixing, as too much air can make the egg mixture too frothy. Mix gently just until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 5
Prepare a wide, rectangular frying pan and heat it over very low heat. Pour a thin layer of the egg mixture into the pan. Cook gently over low heat, preparing to roll the omelet. If the heat is too high, the egg will burn or cook too quickly, making it difficult to create a beautiful shape. Be sure to maintain low heat.
Step 6
Begin rolling the egg mixture gently and carefully from the edge. Once the egg is partially cooked, push it to one side of the pan. Pour a little more egg mixture into the empty space, and then roll it together with the previously rolled portion. Repeat this process to gradually thicken and firm up the rolled omelet.
Step 7
The egg white portion is now somewhat cooked. Lightly beat the reserved egg yolks in a separate bowl, then thinly spread this yolk mixture over the outside of the rolled omelet and cook briefly. Encasing the omelet with the yolk will add a more vibrant color and a softer texture. Cook quickly over low heat to prevent the yolks from burning.
Step 8
Place the well-rolled omelet onto a sushi rolling mat (makisu). Use the mat to firmly press the omelet into a rectangular shape. This shaping will result in a neat cross-section when sliced and a more flower-like appearance. Keep it wrapped in the mat for about 2-3 minutes to help it hold its shape.
Step 9
Transfer the shaped omelet to a cutting board. Now, use a sharp knife to slice it into bite-sized pieces, about 1.5 cm thick, at an angle. Wiping the knife clean between cuts will ensure a neat appearance. Slicing at an angle will make the ‘petal’ shapes of the flower look more natural and beautiful.
Step 10
Arrange the appetizing ‘Gamté Rolled Omelet Flower’ beautifully on a serving plate. Optionally, you can drizzle a little ketchup with a small spoon or serve it with a dipping sauce. This special rolled omelet, with its blend of colorful vegetables and the unique aroma of gamté, is now complete. Enjoy your delicious creation!
