Chef Nick Gavin tries his hand at this eye-catching egg dish.
A popular street food in Korea, the tornado omelet is traditionally served draped over a mound of fried rice, which accentuates the spiral shape. Here we’re concentrating on the technique to help you achieve that perfect spiral. Serve your omelet over rice, on top of avocado toast, or even in place of a poached egg on your next eggs Benedict.

    Hey Nic. Don't use those ceramic Japanese style chopsticks. Try using wood with flat ends. The egg will grip the chopsticks better as you turn and the flat ends won't tear any of the egg.

    I tried this tornado technique before and i failed at making a tornado lol, but what i found was that more milk will make the egg fluffy, bright when cooked, and won't stick to the pan you don't even need to add oil or butter. The pan has to be between medium to high heat in order to do this technique. Used wooden chopsticks as it can measure the right temperature of the pan by checking if there's bubble when stick it into a hot oil. Wooden chopstick has a grip surface that the egg can grip onto when rotating

    You gotta keep the chopsticks separated as you spin so it grabs better the whole swirling mass... If you bring those together, it brings too much pressure to a single point at the center... and the whole thing breaks.

    yes you should twist the chopstick and the pan quarter by quarter with the pan turning back to you in a quarter and switching the grip of the chopstick all at the same time and repeat the process again maybe between 5 to 10 times maybe if you are skillful you could get it between 3 to 6 months practicing almost everyday if not maybe more than that

    Also two more small, but *major* details: - *He spins it too fast.* Even his first attempt was going fine.. but like you said, he pinched his chopsticks too close to the center and on top of that he started spinning _way_ too fast which caused the sticks to completely tear into the middle and lose it. He spun it too fast on his second attempt too, which is why it didn't turn out so well. - *The edges need to be more fluffy* and solid so you can grab the whole thing when you pinch it to start. Also waiting for this to happen leaves enough time for the last important step to occur... - *Wait for some bubbles to rise up from the middle of the egg mix.* From what I've seen of the Korean masters doing it in videos.. when you pinch and start twisting as soon as decently-sized bubbles rise up from the middle, those bubbles end up folding into the main spiraling striations of the tornado omelette, and make it easier to keep the whole egg together whilst spinning it. In conclusion, once you know all the steps.. I recommend of studying videos of the Korean street food masters making it. *[EDIT:]* Finally got around to making one myself and succeeded, although my first attempt at a tornado omelette was not nearly as striated and "twisted" as the ones made by the Korean masters. But what I can say from my experience is that I was wrong about the whole "wait for bubbles to rise up". You just twist as soon as the entire bottom of the egg is cooked, which is when the "fluffy white edges" form. Secondly, how fast you twist it depends on how hot you have your stove/cooking top heated to. If you have it set to a higher heat, you'll want to twist faster. Overall, it's just a learning experience that involves getting to know your stove, and how fast it cooks the egg.
