Introduction
Shared by Chef A-Qing, this "Vegetable Omelet" features a variety of staple vegetables finely chopped, salted to draw out moisture and soften them, then mixed with grated raw potato for natural binding.

Step 1
Wash the cabbage (1/4 head, approx. 370g) and finely chop it into a large bowl.
Step 2
Slice the carrot (approx. 60g) into thin strips, then finely chop them into pieces similar in size to the cabbage, and add to the bowl.
Step 3
Add 1 tsp of salt to the vegetables and massage firmly by hand until they release water and soften, reducing in volume by about 1/3. Keep the extracted vegetable juice.
Step 4
Wash the shiitake mushrooms (approx. 50g) and dice them (mushrooms do not need to be salted/dehydrated), then add to the vegetable bowl.
Step 5
Peel the onion (1/2 head, approx. 100g), dice it, and add to the vegetable bowl.

Important Notes
Cabbage and carrots must be rubbed with salt; this process, called 'dehydration' (殺青), removes excess moisture and softens the vegetables, making the omelet easier to shape. The resulting vegetable juice is sweet and nutritious, so don't pour it out. 💡
This recipe uses natural potato puree as a binder instead of cornstarch slurry, keeping it high-fiber, low-fat, and healthy. ✨
Do not overmix after adding eggs to the vegetables. Over-stirring introduces too much air, causing the egg mixture to release water, resulting in a less fragrant omelet with poor texture. ⚠️
Because it contains a large amount of vegetables, the surface will not be as smooth as a traditional tamagoyaki. Be extra careful when flipping, don't pour too much egg mixture at once, and use a spatula to keep pressing and shaping along the pan edge. 🍳
Freshly cooked omelets are hot and soft, making them prone to crumbling if cut immediately. Always let them rest for 3-5 minutes to set before slicing for a clean, beautiful cut. ⏱️
