Gyeran Mari is Korea’s answer to the plain omelette. Same eggs, way more fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whisk in finely chopped carrots and scallions. Pour into a rectangular pan. Roll. Roll again. Slice into cute little spirals. It takes 10 minutes, uses one pan, and makes any meal look like you tried really hard (you didn’t).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Serves 2 as a side dish.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
4 large eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 tablespoon milk or water (for fluffiness)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
\u00bc teaspoon salt<\/li>\n\n\n\n
2 tablespoons finely chopped carrot<\/li>\n\n\n\n
2 tablespoons finely chopped scallion (green parts only)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 teaspoon vegetable or sesame oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Optional: dash of black pepper or a pinch of sugar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Whisk the Eggs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and salt until smooth. Add carrot, scallion, and pepper. Whisk again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Heat the Pan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Oil a rectangular or small round nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Wipe off excess with a paper towel\u2014too much oil prevents rolling.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: First Layer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Pour about \u2153 of the egg mixture into the pan, swirling to cover the bottom. Cook until just set but still shiny on top, about 1\u20132 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Roll It<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Using a spatula, roll the egg from one side to the other like a jelly roll. Push the roll to the edge of the pan.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Repeat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Pour another \u2153 of egg mixture, lifting the roll slightly to let raw egg flow underneath. When set, roll again. Repeat with remaining egg.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 6: Slice and Serve<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Transfer the log to a cutting board. Let cool 1 minute. Slice into \u00bd-inch pieces. Serve warm or at room temperature.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Difficulty:<\/strong> Easy (first roll might be ugly\u2014second will be pretty)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Storage Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Perfect for Lunchboxes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Gyeran Mari is delicious cold or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. No reheating needed\u2014just pack and go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Freezer-Friendly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Freeze sliced egg roll for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight. Eat cold or gently microwave for 15 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
