Heart Egg Omelette 하트 계란말이 Heart Gyeran Mari

Hey...so I've been studying or trying to study for the past however long so I haven't been able to post a recipe yet. But here I am today. This will probably be the last time I will post in a month because my exams start in a week. Eeeekkkk

Because I have exams I am going to go with a quick but still delicious recipe. If you like Korean food you will know about their doshirak boxes (packed lunch). The dish today is usually used as a component of these lunches. Gyeran Mari (계란말이) rolled omelette, and is typically round and taste like a fried flat egg. But today I will be including vegetables in the mix, and I will also show you a quick and easy way to shape the eggs into a heart shape. This is a super easy dish to make, and kids will LOVE it.

This is super quick and easy to make, so let's get started:

Ingredients

4 Large Eggs

1 Tbsp Green Onion

½ Tbsp Carrot

¼ tsp Salt Some

Oil

Method 

1. Break eggs and stir them gently. For interesting yellow and white color swirls, do not completely mix the whites and yokes together.

2. Set aside 2-3 Tbsp of the egg mixture to be used later.

3. Finely chop green onion and carrot. This gives the dish colour.

4. Add salt into the egg mixture and mix well.

5. Add some oil in a small bowl or plate. Fold a small piece of a paper towel, and soak it in the oil.

6. Use the towel to lightly grease the pan. Cook on medium heat.

7. Drop a little bit of the egg mixture into the heated pan; if it starts to cook, the temperature for the pan is right.

8. Pour about ¼ of the egg mixture into an 8-inch pan.

9. When the surface of the egg starts to cook, begin to fold it about one inch.

10. Continue to fold it. You can use either chopsticks or a spatula.

11. Push it to the other end of the pan and add some more oil in the pan.

12. Pour the same amount of egg mixture into the pan. Fry and fold it the same way.

13. Repeat the process for the remaining egg mixture in two steps.

14. Cool it for about 1 minute before you cut it. This helps the egg keep its shape when you cut it.

15. Cut the fried egg into a half-inch thickness. And there you have it, perfectly cooked egg omelette.

And now for the heart shaped eggs:

1. Cut the egg across diagonally

2. Put the diagonal sides together and you will form a heart shape.

3. To seal the shape dip the omelette into the reserved egg mixture and cook both sides.

And there you go, a simple and cute way to serve eggs to the kids and for yourself to enjoy. I hope that you guys enjoyed that post because it has been a VERY long time since I posted and I felt bad, but exams are seriously my priority right now. But I promise that when I come back in a month I will be posting so much that you will want me to stop for a bit.

So to everyone out there, I hope that you will all stay healthy, happy and safe and wait till I post again. To anyone else with exams the best of luck to you, and remember to keep a healthy diet!!
