Kim Dae-seok's Shiitake Mushroom Omelette
A thick, tender omelette made by removing moisture from long-cut shiitake mushrooms using a microwave, then mixing them with a subtle curry powder and glutinous rice flour to prevent tearing, resulting in a richly textured dish.

Cooking tips
- If shiitake mushrooms are cut too short, they tend to poke out during rolling; always slice them long and thin so they stay securely within the omelette.
- Pre-microwaving the mushrooms removes excess moisture, preventing water from forming during cooking and enhancing the chewy texture.
- Use only 1 small spoon of curry powder—just enough to add flavor without overpowering the natural richness of the eggs or leaving a greasy aftertaste.
- Adding 1 large spoon of glutinous rice flour to the egg mixture improves viscosity and binding strength, helping beginners achieve a smooth, tear-free, and perfectly thick omelette.
Recommended for
- Those looking to enrich their table with affordable, common ingredients when grocery prices feel high.
- Beginners who struggle with omelettes tearing apart or filling escaping during rolling, making it hard to achieve a thick, neat shape.
