Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons dried wakame seaweed
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 stalks scallions
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rehydrate the dried wakame seaweed by soaking it in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes. Once softened, drain and gently squeeze out the excess water. Chop the wakame into small pieces and set aside.
Thinly slice the scallions and set them aside for garnish.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Stir in the milk, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chopped wakame to the egg mixture, stirring gently to distribute evenly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Swirl the pan to coat it evenly with the oil.
Pour the egg and wakame mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the omelet and tilt the pan to allow any uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set but still soft.
Carefully fold the omelet in half and slide it onto a serving plate.
Garnish with sliced scallions and serve immediately. Enjoy your Wakame Omelet!
