Gyeran Mari is a classic Korean rolled omelette, fluffy and savory, packed with fresh vegetables like carrot and green onion. It’s cooked gently in a pan and rolled layer by layer to create a beautiful, tender egg roll perfect for breakfast, lunchboxes, or as a side dish.

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 5 medium eggs
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 2 tbsp carrot, chopped or grated
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black or white pepper

Cooking

  • 1 tsp neutral oil (such as vegetable or canola oil)

Instructions

  1. Whisk eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly with salt and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Add vegetables: Mix in the chopped or grated carrots and chopped green onion, then whisk again to combine evenly.
  3. Preheat pan: Heat a 10-inch non-stick pan over low heat. Add 1 teaspoon of neutral oil and spread it evenly.
  4. Cook first layer: Pour one-third of the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly. As the edges begin to set, lift them gently with a spatula, then start rolling the omelette from one end when the top is just slightly unset.
  5. Add second layer: Pull the rolled omelette gently to the opposite side of the pan, and pour another one-third of the egg mixture into the empty space. Tilt the pan to let the egg fill uneven ends, especially because of the round pan shape.
  6. Roll again: Roll the omelette over the new layer gently, pulling it as you go. Repeat this process with the final third of the egg mixture, cooking and rolling carefully.
  7. Seal the omelette: Try to avoid ending the roll on the short sides to keep a tight seal. If it happens, use a spatula and your hand to press and seal the omelette firmly in the pan.
  8. Cool and slice: Transfer the rolled omelette to a cool surface and rest for a couple of minutes. Cut into 6 to 8 even pieces, trimming any tapered ends if necessary for uniformity.
  9. Serve or store: Serve immediately warm or let it cool completely before storing for later use.

Notes

  • Use a low heat setting to cook gently and avoid browning or burning the eggs.
  • A round pan may cause tapered edges; tilting helps fill those gaps. Using a square pan can avoid this issue.
  • The rolled omelette is great for bento boxes, breakfast, or a light snack.
  • Feel free to experiment by adding other finely chopped vegetables or mild seasonings to the egg mixture.
  • Resting the omelette slightly before slicing helps maintain its shape and texture.
