Fold & Roll – Chicken Nori Omelette in Styles

Spruce up your Omelette and present them in style with this Chicken Nori Omelette recipe in the regular sushi spiral form and teardrops.

Chicken nori Omelette

The process is easy, simply grind some chicken breast, if not, replace it with turkey. To help with binding, I’ve added 1 tablespoon of potato starch, but you can use corn starch or flour.

Nori does bring essence to the overall flavor, which enables me to omit salt. I added some mushroom seasoning powder does, but you can use bouillon granules, garlic salt, or similar. Nori also leaves a nice dark inner line to complement the omelet’s yellow and the “white” meat.

Simple Chicken Omelette with Nori

The flavor or seasoning should be simple, use anything you like. Though I add mushroom seasoning powder in mine, simple salt and pepper will work just fine.

Chicken nori Omelette rolled and folded versions

Both the rolled and folded versions cut better when cold, so for better presentation in your take out bento, chill them in the fridge before cutting. Make a nice, sharp cut without riveting your knife back and forward.

Ingredients

  • 1 chicken breast
  • 2 sheets nori or any wrapper
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 Tbsp potato starch or corn starch
  • 1 Tbsp seasoning powder or ¼ amount of salt adjust to your taste
  • ¼ tsp ground pepper
  • 2 Tbsp frying oil
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce or any dipping sauce optional

Filling & Decoration

  • mixed vegetables or carrot/corn version
  • baby carrots, green bean

Instructions

  • Wash, pat dry, then cube chicken breast and add to your food processor or grinder.
  • Grind together with starch, and ½ Tbsp of seasoning powder or some salt/garlic salt if preferred.
  • Extract to add 2 egg whites only to the ground meat and mix well.
  • In a bowl, add 3 eggs together with the 2 yolks remained from the earlier step.
  • Add remaining seasoning or your choice of salt/pepper.
  • (optional) If the egg is too thick for your omelet, add 2 Tbsp of water or milk.
  • Mix the egg to dissolve the added seasoning, do not over-whisk.

Make the omelette

  • Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 Tbsp of oil to coat the surface. Tilt the pan or twirl around with your spatula.
  • Reduce heat to low, pour in half of the egg liquid. Tilt the pan to let it coat the bottom completely.
  • Wait till all the edge crusty a bit, use your spatula to skim around the perimeter.
  • When the egg is done, carefully transfer out onto a large plate.
  • Repeat for the second batch. Use different for easier handling of each layer.

Spruce up the Omelette: Folding and rolling

  • Heat your steamer's pot.
  • Cut out 2 pieces of parchment paper to line the steaming tray to prevent sticking. Punch out some holes in them to drip off the water.
  • Lay the better looking of the omelet down to a flat surface.
  • Lay a piece of nori on top the egg.
  • Spread half of the ground chicken mixture over the nori.
  • Arrange baby carrot, corn or any of your decorative vegetables onto one end.
  • Lift to fold-over then roll and tuck into omelette roll.
  • Steam for 5-10 minutes or until chicken is done.
  • Once finished, you can serve as is or wait for the roll to cool down before cutting into swirly slices.

Alternate Rain-drop shape

  • Instead of rolling as above, you spread more chicken mixture at the cross-center area of the nori and just a thinner layer near by the two ends horizontally.
  • Lay carrot and green bean at the cross-center.
  • Lift one end of the egg to fold over to the other end.
  • With your fingers, lightly apply more pressure at the joining edges to seal and thin it down.
  • Steam, cool, and cut, the slice should look like an asymmetrical drop.
