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.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

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.
