Ingredients
  

Omelette Base
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped carrot
  • 1 tablespoon milk or water
  • 1 pinch sugar optional, for a slightly sweet finish
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon neutral oil plus more as needed for the pan
Optional Fillings
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced ham or spam optional
  • 2 tablespoons shredded cheese optional

Method
 

    1. In a bowl, whisk the eggs until completely smooth, then add milk or water, sugar if using, salt, and pepper.
    2. Stir in the finely chopped green onion, carrot, and any optional fillings, keeping the pieces very small.
    3. Heat a small nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat and lightly oil the surface.
    4. Pour in a thin layer of the egg mixture to cover the bottom of the pan and cook until the top is mostly set but still slightly glossy.
    5. Starting from one side, gently roll the egg into a log, then push it back to the starting side of the pan.
    6. Add more egg mixture to the empty part of the pan, let it set, and roll the log again to wrap the new layer around it. Repeat with remaining egg.
    7. Transfer the finished roll to a cutting board, rest for 1–2 minutes, then slice into even pieces and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Chop vegetables very finely so the omelette rolls smoothly without tearing. Keep the heat low to prevent browning and to keep the layers soft and tender.
