Recipe

Finely chop green onion (preferably the green parts for color) and carrot, and set aside.
Crack 6 eggs into a large bowl and gently stir with chopsticks until the egg whites are fully broken up.
Add the chopped green onion and carrot to the beaten eggs, then mix in salt and sugar (a small amount of chemical seasoning for umami, optional based on preference). Stir well to create a uniform egg mixture.
Place the frying pan over medium heat and add generous vegetable oil. Pour about one-third of the prepared egg mixture into the pan and spread it evenly across the bottom.
Reduce the heat to low. When the top surface of the egg mixture stops running and begins to slowly set, start rolling it from one edge.
Do not roll the entire egg; leave a small border at the edges and push the rolled omelette to one corner of the pan.
If the pan’s empty space lacks oil, add a little more. Then pour the remaining egg mixture onto the previous roll, continuing to layer and roll. Repeat this process until all the egg mixture is used.
Once the last portion is rolled, increase the heat slightly. Rotate the omelette along the pan’s sides to brown all four edges and firm up the shape before finishing.

Beat the eggs and mix in chopped green onion, carrot, salt, and sugar to make the egg mixture.
Heat the pan, add oil, and pour the egg mixture in several layers, rolling each layer as you go.
Finally, slightly increase the heat to brown the front, back, and side surfaces, then shape and serve.

Cooking tips

If the omelette tears or develops holes during rolling, just cover it with the next layer of egg mixture—no visible flaws will remain.
When using only chopsticks or a spatula makes flipping difficult, use a spoon in both hands for much easier and smoother flipping.
Use mainly the green parts of green onion instead of the white parts to contrast beautifully with the yellow egg, resulting in a much more attractive cross-section.
Keep the heat low while rolling to prevent burning on the outside while ensuring the inside cooks evenly and stays soft.
