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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Thinly slice the scallions and set them aside for garnish.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Stir in the milk, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the chopped wakame to the egg mixture, stirring gently to distribute evenly.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Swirl the pan to coat it evenly with the oil.

Step 6

Pour the egg and wakame mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Carefully fold the omelet in half and slide it onto a serving plate.

Step 9

Garnish with sliced scallions and serve immediately. Enjoy your Wakame Omelet!
