2 servings

4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salted shrimp sauce (or tuna sauce)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Cooking oil as needed

Recipe

Crack 4 eggs into a bowl.
Add a little salted shrimp sauce or tuna sauce for savory flavor, and about half a teaspoon of sugar. Beat well.
Heat a frying pan, add cooking oil, and pour in a suitable amount of egg mixture, spreading it thinly over medium-low heat.
Before the egg is fully cooked, when it is half-set and still moist, gently roll it from one end.
Push the rolled egg to one side and pour the remaining egg mixture into the empty space, continuing to roll to build thickness.
Cook until golden brown on both sides, let cool slightly, then slice into bite-sized pieces to serve.

Add salted shrimp sauce (or tuna sauce) and sugar to the eggs and beat well.
Add cooking oil to a pan, pour in the egg mixture, and spread it out.
When the egg is half-cooked, roll it up from one end.
Add the remaining egg mixture to build thickness, cook through, and slice.

Cooking tips

If you roll the gyeran-mari after the egg is fully cooked, the layers won't stick and it will crack. You must roll it while it's still half-cooked and moist to get a firm and pretty result.
Adding a tiny amount of sugar to the egg mixture enhances the savory flavor and helps create a soft texture.
