Quick & Easy Gyeran Mari (Korean Rolled Omelette)
Description
This Korean rolled omelette, known as Gyeran Mari, features beaten eggs mixed with finely chopped ham, carrots, and green onions, seasoned with sesame oil and salt. The egg mixture is cooked in a non-stick pan over low to medium heat to form thin layers. Each layer is gently rolled while still slightly moist, creating multiple folds that result in a soft and layered omelette. The sesame oil adds a hint of nuttiness, complementing the savory ham and fresh vegetables within the tender egg base.
The cooking technique requires patience to ensure each layer cooks just enough to hold but remains moist enough for rolling. This yields a delicate texture that is both light and satisfying. The rolled shape also allows neat slicing, making it convenient for serving as a side dish or in lunch boxes.
Gyeran Mari brings a comforting egg flavor enhanced by the subtle crunch of vegetables and pops of savory ham. It suits simple meals or can accompany rice and other Korean dishes.
Ingredients
- 6 large egg beaten
- 2 green onion finely chopped
- ⅔ cups ham finely chopped
- 3 tablespoon carrot finely chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl or measuring cup with a lip, crack and beat eggs. Then add very finely chopped ham, carrots, green onions, sesame oil and salt. Whisk everything together until well combined.
- In a non-stick pan (approx. 10 inches wide) set on low-medium heat (level 3 on the dial), lightly grease the bottom of the pan with oil by spreading it with a paper towel or brush.
- Once the pan is hot, whisk your egg batter again and pour just enough egg batter until a thin layer forms. Swirl the pan so the egg mixture evenly distributes across. If needed, gently evenly disperse filling ingredients with chopsticks.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes until top of the egg is cooked around the edges and the center is slightly moist but not runny. To test this, tilt your pan and if the egg is not running off of it, it's time to roll.
- With a spatula, loosen the edges and the bottom of the omelette, if possible.
- With two spatulas, fold the omelette about 1 inch towards the middle and gently pressing down. Continue to fold and roll until you reach halfway and stop.
- Carefully slide the rolled omelette back to the middle of your pan. Then pour a thin layer of egg mixture to cover the open space, aiming for the tail edge of the omelette so that new egg layer sticks to the former one. Do not fill the other side of the pan beyond the rolled part.
- Allow that layer to fry for 2-3 minutes.
- Repeat the above process until you have depleted your batter. Carefully turn the roll on its side to seal in the remaining edge.
- Transfer to a cutting board to slice into 0.75-inch-thick pieces. Serve and enjoy!
