The legendary Korean rolled omelet — Gyeran Mari, which is typically served as banchan — is also one of Esther's favorite breakfast foods for her son, Leon 💛 Esther shares how to properly prep, pour and roll your eggs to create satisfying spirals with multiple layers. Loaded up with finely chopped scallions, carrots, mushrooms and a little cheese, it's the perfect fridge-cleanout dish.
Esther also makes her Korean sweet potato pancakes — another favorite of Leon's — which calls for Korean sweet potatoes. Since they are naturally sweeter than regular sweet potatoes, there’s no need for added sugar.
