Kim Dae-seok's Perilla Leaf Omelette Roll

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Always use medium-low to low heat when cooking omelette rolls. High heat causes the exterior to burn quickly and hardens the texture before the shape can be properly formed—this ensures consistent success.
• Use only exactly one tablespoon of glutinous rice flour when mixing with finely chopped vegetables. This prevents separation and results in a much smoother, chewier, and cohesive texture.
• To eliminate the natural fishy smell of eggs, divide mirin between the whites and yolks and mix separately—this is key to achieving a clean, refined flavor.
• By first rolling the white vegetable mixture to create a fragrant green interior, then coating it with yolk to form a golden outer layer, the cross-section displays striking contrast, making the dish far more visually appealing.
