Recipe

Crack 5 eggs into a bowl and beat them evenly until the strands are fully broken down to make the egg mixture.
Prepare a small amount of carrot and chop it as finely as possible to enhance color.
Chop 1/4 onion finely and uniformly so it becomes soft and tender.
Cut 1 handful of watercress into very short pieces, about 1 cm long, to prevent them from shifting around inside the egg roll.
Mince 1 teaspoon of shrimp paste using a knife to prepare the base seasoning for the egg mixture.
Add the chopped carrot, onion, minced shrimp paste, and cut watercress to the beaten egg mixture and stir thoroughly until well combined.
Lightly coat a frying pan with vegetable oil and heat over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture thinly and spread it out evenly across the pan.
When the surface of the egg begins to set slightly, use a spatula and chopsticks to gently roll it up, pushing it forward. Continuously add remaining egg mixture to the empty space and keep rolling to create a thick, full-bodied roll.

Beat 5 eggs to make the egg mixture, and finely chop carrot, onion, and shrimp paste.
Cut watercress into 1 cm lengths, then mix all vegetables and shrimp paste into the egg mixture.
Pour the egg mixture in small portions onto an oiled pan and roll it thickly over medium heat.

Cooking tips

Using finely minced shrimp paste instead of salt helps eliminate the eggy odor while adding deep umami and rich flavor.
If vegetables or watercress are too large, they may burst or split when rolling the egg; chopping them finely and short ensures success.
Do not pour all the egg mixture at once—add it in thin layers gradually while rolling to achieve a tightly packed, attractive cross-section with even thickness.
