Ingredients
2 large eggs
salt to taste
black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon mirin
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/4 small-to-medium zucchini, thinly sliced
1/2 scallion, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons chopped kimchi
Directions
Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt, a few grinds of black pepper, and the mirin. Whisk together until well combined and smooth.
Heat the vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sliced zucchini, scallion pieces, and chopped kimchi. Sauté for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften and the kimchi releases its flavors.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet. Cover with a lid and cook over moderate heat for 2 minutes, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist on top.
Remove the lid. Carefully fold the omelet in half using a spatula. Cook for another 1-2 minutes if you prefer a firmer omelet, or serve immediately for a softer center.
Slide the omelet onto a plate. Serve hot, with additional chopped kimchi on the side if desired.
