Seungwoo Dad's Kimchi Gyeran-mari

A rice side dish made by placing kimchi jam that doesn't leak its liquid into the egg mixture, rolling it thickly while maintaining a clean yellow color.

🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who have repeatedly failed at making rolled omelettes with kimchi due to tearing or turning red
  • Those who want to make a visually refined side dish with a sweet and savory kimchi filling

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 4-5 eggs
  • 2-3 tbsp all-purpose kimchi jam
  • a little cooking oil

Recipe 🍳

  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them well to make the egg mixture. (The kimchi jam is already seasoned, so omit salt or add only a tiny amount.)
  2. Heat a pan and coat it thinly with cooking oil, then pour in some of the egg mixture and spread it out wide.
  3. When the egg mixture is half-cooked, place a long line of all-purpose kimchi jam on the edge.
  4. Using the kimchi jam as the center axis, carefully roll the egg.
  5. Pull the rolled egg forward, pour in the remaining egg mixture to fill the empty space, and shape it into a thick roll.
  6. Roll the omelette over to cook all sides, including the ends, until fully cooked inside. Let it cool slightly, then slice into bite-sized pieces.
  1. Beat the eggs well to prepare the egg mixture.
  2. Pour the egg mixture into an oiled pan, spread it out, and place a long line of kimchi jam on one side.
  3. Roll the egg carefully so the kimchi jam doesn't burst, adding the remaining egg mixture as you go, and cook until thick and golden.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Because we use a jam-style kimchi with no moisture, there's no risk of liquid leaking out during heating and ruining the egg color.
  • When sliced, the red kimchi jam embedded in the yellow egg creates a beautiful color contrast in the cross-section.
