Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs room temperature, use 5+ for thicker rolls
  • 1 –1.5 tablespoon scallion finely chopped, white and green parts
  • 1 –1.5 tablespoon carrot finely chopped
  • teaspoon salt or to taste
  • Pinch black pepper freshly ground
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Finely chop the scallions and carrot until uniform.
  2. In a bowl, crack the eggs and beat with a fork or chopsticks until yolks and whites are fully blended. Stir in salt and black pepper.
  3. Mix the chopped scallions and carrot into the egg mixture evenly.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to a medium non-stick skillet and spread evenly using a paper towel. Preheat over medium-low heat until warm.
  5. Pour half of the egg mixture into the pan and swirl to cover the bottom. Cook until the top is slightly set but still moist.
  6. Using a spatula, lift one edge of the egg (about 1–1.5 inches) and fold it over to start rolling. Reduce heat slightly if the bottom browns too quickly.
  7. Lift the folded portion and fold again, pulling the egg toward the rolled side. Make space for the remaining egg mixture.
  8. Add the remaining egg mixture to the open space and spread evenly. Cook until just set, then fold over the rolled omelette again, repeating until you have a 2-inch thick egg log.
  9. Remove the rolled omelette from the pan and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Slice into even ¾–1 inch thick pieces.
