Essential Ingredients- 3 Eggs
- 1 handful Glass noodles (approx. 50g)
- 2 Scallions
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the scallions thoroughly, pat them dry, and finely chop them. This prep step will make the cooking process much smoother.
Step 2
Soak about a handful (approx. 50g) of glass noodles in lukewarm water for about 30 minutes until softened. Then, blanch the softened noodles in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Immediately rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking and drain them completely. This prevents the noodles from becoming mushy and ensures a pleasant texture.
Step 3
Once the water is drained, finely chop the glass noodles with a knife into pieces about 0.5cm long. This makes them easier to incorporate into the filling and easier to fold the dumplings.
Step 4
In a bowl, combine the finely chopped glass noodles and the chopped scallions. Mixing these ingredients will add texture and flavor to your egg dumplings.
Step 5
Crack the 3 eggs into a separate bowl. Add the prepared glass noodle and scallion mixture to the eggs. Season with a pinch of salt and, if desired, a pinch of pepper for extra flavor. Whisk everything together with chopsticks or a whisk until well combined. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick pan over low heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of the egg mixture with a spoon and pour it onto the pan, spreading it as thinly as possible. Making them thin ensures they cook through evenly and results in a tender texture. Cooking slowly over low heat is key to preventing burning and achieving a beautiful golden color.
Step 7
These egg dumplings cook quickly. Instead of flipping, once the bottom is lightly set and the edges start to turn translucent, carefully fold the pancake in half using chopsticks or a spatula. Gently press down as you fold to help them stick together and seal. Cook until both sides are golden brown. Be mindful of the heat, as the egg can burn easily.
Step 8
Your delicious egg dumplings are now ready!
Step 9
Dip the freshly made, warm egg dumplings in ketchup and enjoy. The combination of sweet and tangy ketchup with the soft, savory egg dumplings is simply delightful. They make for a quick and satisfying snack or a perfect accompaniment to drinks.
