Gyeranmli is a rolled up fried egg. This type is made with fish cakes, and it is called “gyeranmali (어묵 계란말이).” It is easy and delicious and can be used in a Korean lunch box. Someday, I will post more Korean lunch box dishes. 😉
Yield: 3 Servings
Short Korean Lesson

- GongGi (공기) = Air
Video Instructions
Main Ingredients
- 1 Cup Fish Cake Pieces
- 6 Eggs
- 4 Green Onions (½ Cup)
- ¼ Cup Zucchini
- 2 tsp Red Hot Pepper
- ½ tsp Salt
- Some Oil for Frying
Directions
Finely chop 1 cup worth of fish cakes. It is important to cut the fish cake very finely so that your egg will be easier to roll later. There are different shapes and sizes of fish cakes in a Korean or Asian grocery store. You can use any kind of fish cakes. 🙂
In the same way, finely chop ½ cup worth of green onions, ¼ cup worth of zucchini, and 2 tsp worth of red hot pepper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped ingredients, 6 eggs, and ½ tsp of salt. Mix everything together.
Pour the egg mixture into a generously oiled and heated pan. I used a 12-inch nonstick pan.
Fry it on medium-high. Once the surface of the egg mixture is half cooked, begin to roll the egg starting with about half an inch.
After you are done rolling the egg, fry it until both sides become golden brown.
Cool it down for about a minute before cutting. This makes it easier to handle the egg and also helps with the cutting. Cut the egg into ½-inch slices.
This is another quick and tasty recipe to try. 😉 Enjoy~ Thanks! 🙂
Yes, i love the egg roll, hope you can upload more dishes for lunch box, because i always feel the lunch box with colorful / nicely shapes food is a very lovely lunch box. thanks.

Hi Aeri
Adding chopped fish cake into omellete is brilliant – and I love spring onions. Now I use duck eggs to make omellete b’cos it taste better (duck have to swim so they produce near-free-range eggs compared to farmed chicken).
Thnx.
hi ymasea25,
Oh..I’ve never tried duck eggs before..they are that good ?? anyway..try this recipe..you will like it. : ) thanks
I love making Rolled Eggs too! Been making them with Crabsticks, Carrots, Tuna etc.. Nice, Aeri! Thanks for the great idea – fish cakes! I have half a pack of Eomuk in my fridge ^^
감사합니다 i love your recipe..
🙁 but my first attempt failed.. the egg all scatter
Hi, Aeri Lee. So lovely website it is. I’ll try this for my family. Thank you. 😛
Hi, Aeri! ^^ This looks really good, and I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with the odeng I have xD This also looks like a side dish that my boyfriend and I had the first time he took me to a Korean restaurant, and I loved it ^^ I can’t wait to try this recipe!!
I tried to make this today, and I couldn’t roll it 🙁 Everytime I’d start to roll the egg, the uncooked egg from the surface would spill out on the sides and create a new layer of egg underneath the rolled part Dx
Our kids started school this week, and this is on their wish list so we made it this morning 🙂
I needed some help from daughter to roll it up, as she is a much more patient cook than I am, but I made the rest after that :)) It’s a healthy, good looking, and easy lunch box idea so we will be making more, so many thanks!
Would you teach us the moms more Korean lunch box dishes now that a new school year has started? The kids are looking forward to show off their lunch with some “style”, and I love that they are eating healthy!
