- ½ tspSalt

- 2 ½ tspVegetable oil
Equipment

Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients
Gather a small nonstick pan, bowl, chopsticks, spatula, knife, board, brush, and plate, then measure every ingredient before cooking. · 5 min
What to look for: Ingredients measured and tools ready
- Mix Egg
Beat eggs with water and salt until the whites disappear, then stir in carrot and green onion for an even speckled mixture. · 3 min
What to look for: Smooth yellow egg with evenly scattered vegetables
- Oil Pan
Heat the pan over low heat and brush with a thin coat of vegetable oil so the egg cooks gently without browning. · 2 min
What to look for: Oil looks glossy but does not smoke
- Start Layer
Pour in about 1 third of the egg mixture and tilt the pan to cover the base, then lay gim on top while the surface is still glossy. · 2 min
What to look for: Thin egg layer is glossy on top and just set at the edges
- Roll Omelette
Lift one edge with the spatula and roll the soft egg toward the far side, keeping the roll snug but not compressed. · 2 min
What to look for: Egg forms a neat pale roll at one side of the pan
- Add Layers
Brush the empty pan lightly with oil, pour in another 1 third of egg, lift the roll so raw egg flows under it, then roll again. · 3 min
What to look for: New egg layer attaches cleanly to the rolled omelette
- Finish Cooking
Repeat with the remaining egg and cook the roll on each side until set, pale yellow, and springy to a gentle press. · 4 min
What to look for: Omelette is set, smooth, and lightly glossy with little browning
- Slice Serve
Rest the omelette for 3 minutes, slice it into 2 cm pieces, and serve warm or at room temperature as a Korean side dish. · 5 min
What to look for: Slices show soft layers with colorful vegetable flecks

Green onion
- Carrot: Use finely diced carrot for color and mild sweetness.
Gim
- Green onion: Use extra green onion if gim is unavailable, though the sea aroma will be reduced.
