Ingredients

  • large eggs
  • scallions
  • light soy sauce
  • neutral oil

Instructions

  1. Whisk eggs, scallions, light soy sauce, and 1/4 tsp salt in a bowl until fully blended and slightly frothy.
  2. Heat 1 tsp oil in a nonstick 20-cm (8-inch) pan over medium heat. Pour in 1/3 cup egg mixture, tilting pan to spread thinly and evenly. (Oil shimmers but no smoke rises; egg sets at edges within 5 seconds)
  3. When top is ~80% set (still slightly glossy), lift one edge with spatula and gently roll toward center. Slide onto plate and let cool 1 minute.
  4. Repeat with remaining oil and egg mixture to make 3 more rolls. Stack cooled rolls and slice into 2-cm (3/4-inch) pieces.
  5. Arrange on a small plate. Drizzle with 1/2 tsp light soy sauce and garnish with extra scallion. Serve at room temperature.
