Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Mixing potato starch with water before adding it to the egg mixture helps prevent breaking when frying and enhances the chewy texture, making flipping much easier.
  • Egg omelettes burn easily, so maintain a low heat throughout the entire cooking process to ensure gentle, even cooking.
  • When flipping, wait until the top surface is slightly set and softly puffed—flipping too early can cause the omelette to break.

Recommended for

  • Those who find it difficult to shape egg rolls and want an easier alternative egg dish.
  • People who enjoy the fresh aroma of perilla leaves combined with the spicy kick of green chili in a satisfying, non-greasy egg dish.
  • Home cooks looking to quickly make a hearty side dish using leftover eggs and perilla leaves from the fridge.
