Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Korean Rolled Omelette:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly and add chopped onions, carrots, and milk. Season with salt and black pepper, then whisk until well combined.
- Heat a non-stick pan over low-medium heat and add a small amount of cooking oil. Pour in half of the egg mixture, spreading it evenly across the pan. Let it cook until it starts to set but remains slightly soft on top.
- Using a spatula, carefully roll the cooked portion of the egg toward the center of the pan. Drizzle a little more oil if necessary.
- Slide the rolled omelette to one side of the pan, then pour in the remaining egg mixture. Once it starts to firm up, roll it again, repeating the process until all the mixture is used.
- Once fully cooked, transfer the rolled omelette to a cutting board and slice it into bite-sized pieces.
- Serve warm and enjoy your homemade Korean-style omelette rolls!
