Observations
How do I get crispy rice for this omelette?
For crispy rice, use basmati rice cooked the day before and well cooled. Sauté in a hot frying pan with a little neutral oil, without stirring too much to allow a golden crust to form.
What is gochujang and why use it in this recipe?
Gochujang adds a uniquely spicy and fermented touch that enhances the sweetness of the eggs and rice, creating a balance of flavors typical of Korean cuisine.
Can edamame beans be replaced by another ingredient?
Yes, you can replace the soy beans with fresh or frozen peas, cooked corn or even finely chopped green beans to keep the crunchy, fresh taste.
How do I fold the omelette without breaking it?
Use a wide, flexible spatula to gently lift one side of the omelette and fold it in half. Covering the omelet helps solidify the eggs, making them easier to fold.
Is this recipe suitable for using leftover rice?
Absolutely, this omelette is ideal for recycling cooked rice from the day before, avoiding food waste while creating a tasty dish that's quick to prepare.
