Gyeran Mari - Korean Egg Roll With Nori Seaweed

  Korean egg rolls also known as Gyeran Mari in the korean language, is a great side dish and a popular lunch box menu and snack.  It is my all time favourite side dish . The rolled up presentation of this egg dish makes it attractive and interesting not only to the adults but to the children too. There are many variations, you can make simple ones with just spring onions and carrots or you can add nori seaweed , ham or even cheese to it.  For me, I love this version whereby my ingredients are just diced spring onions, diced carrots , diced red onions and nori seaweed.  It is easy to make and the texture of this egg roll is soft and smooth and packed with flavors.  The Japanese soy sauce will be a great dip for this  colorful and flavorful egg roll.

my new rectangular non-stick pan 
perfect for making Gyeran Mari

practice makes perfect...using a silicon spatula makes folding easier


my  'Wildboar' likes it a bit burnt on the outside and smooth soft on the inside


once it has cool down a bit, you can slice into 3/4 inch thick slices

I like to add a nori sheet for extra flavor and color :)
