- 4 Fresh Eggs
- 1 bowl Cooked Rice, slightly cooled (preferably day-old)

- 1 Tbsp Cooking Wine or Sake (removes odor & enhances flavor)
- Pinch of Salt (adjust to taste)

- 0.7 Tbsp Shrimp Paste Water (for umami!)
- 1 Tbsp Cooking Wine or Sake (removes odor & enhances flavor)
- Pinch of Salt (adjust to taste)

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Wash and finely chop the scallions or green onions. This will add a lovely fragrant aroma to the dish.
Step 2
In a wide bowl, crack the 4 eggs. Add the shrimp paste water, cooking wine (or sake), a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. For an even smoother texture, you can strain the egg mixture through a sieve to remove the chalazae (the white, stringy bits). Whisk gently with a fork or whisk until well combined. Since the ingredients are simple, getting the seasoning right is crucial for the best flavor!
Step 3
Add the chopped green onions and the slightly cooled cooked rice to the beaten egg mixture. Use a spatula or fork to gently break up any clumps of rice and mix everything together evenly. It’s important to mix gently so the rice grains are well distributed and don’t clump together, ensuring a neat appearance when cooked.
Step 4
Now, let’s cook! Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add a generous amount of cooking oil and spread it thinly with a paper towel. Pour the egg and rice mixture into the heated pan. Avoid high heat. Once the bottom is lightly golden and the top is still slightly runny (like a soft-boiled egg), carefully start rolling it from one edge. Continue to roll gently, maintaining medium-low heat, until the inside is fully cooked. Rolling slowly ensures the inside cooks through without burning the outside.
Step 5
Voila! Your elegant Rolled Egg and Rice Omelet is ready in no time! Isn’t it wonderfully simple and satisfying?
Step 6
Slice the finished rolled omelet into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a plate. You can enjoy this hearty and delicious dish without any other side dishes, thanks to the perfect balance of rice, egg, and green onions. It’s perfect as a kid’s meal or a delightful brunch option.
