Your Recipe of the Day No Images? Click here Chinese-Style Layered Omelette This dish is basically an omelette mashed up with one of those layered crepe cakes, with scallions and soy sauce interleaved between each layer.

A bowl of rice, some kimchi or other kind of pickled vegetable, and you've got a grand weeknight meal.
