When I was younger, my mom used to make these Korean Egg Roll Delight for breakfast or as a side dish for lunch and dinner. They’re packed with flavor and full of healthy ingredients. The best part is you can customize them with whatever veggies or meats you like.
The main ingredients are simple: eggs, vegetables like carrots and green onions, and sometimes a bit of meat like ham or crab sticks. The eggs are beaten and then cooked into a thin omelet. You roll them up with the veggies inside, slice them into bite-sized pieces, and you’re done!
These egg rolls are not only delicious but also look really pretty on the plate. They’re great for impressing guests or just adding some fun to your regular meals. Plus, they’re packed with protein and vitamins from the eggs and veggies, making them a healthy choice too.

Chef’s Notes – Korean Egg Roll Delight
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh eggs and finely chop the green onions.
- Strain the Eggs: Strain the beaten eggs through a sieve for a smoother and more uniform texture.
- Even Heat Distribution: Cook the eggs over medium-low heat to ensure even cooking without burning. Adjust the heat as necessary.
- Cheese Alternatives: While mozzarella cheese provides a great melt, you can experiment with other cheeses like cheddar or Monterey Jack for different flavors.
- Additional Vegetables: Add finely diced bell peppers or carrots to the egg mixture for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Resting Time: Allow the rolled egg to rest before slicing to help it set and maintain its shape.

Ingredients
Eggs
1 tablespoon rice wine
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Cooking oil for frying
- Alternative Ingredients:
Rice wine substitute: White wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar same amount
Mozzarella cheese substitute: Cheddar cheese or any mild melting cheese same amount
Sea salt substitute: Kosher salt same amount
Directions
- Preparing the Egg Mixture – Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk them gently until combined. For a smoother texture, strain the eggs through a sieve. Add the rice wine and sea salt to the eggs and whisk again until well mixed. Stir in the finely chopped green onions into the egg mixture.
- Cooking the First Layer – Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat and add a small amount of cooking oil. Spread the oil evenly across the pan. Reduce the heat to low and pour a thin layer of the egg mixture into the pan. Tilt the pan to spread the mixture evenly. Cook until the edges are set and the top is mostly cooked (about 80-85%).
- Adding Cheese and Rolling – Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of the pan. Using a spatula or chopsticks, start rolling the egg from one side to the other.
- Repeating Layers – Push the rolled egg to one side of the pan and brush some more oil on the empty side. Pour another thin layer of egg mixture into the empty space and cook until mostly set. Add another layer of cheese and roll again. Repeat until all the egg mixture is used. Remove the rolled egg from the pan and let it cool on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes. Slice into bite-sized pieces.
- Serving – Serve the sliced egg rolls with optional tomato sauce or ketchup for dipping.
