The combination of the savory taste of the skin dough eaten with the sweet filling has indeed made rolled omelette a favorite among culinary connoisseurs.
Rolled omelettes are also often present at special moments, for example as takjil for breaking the Ramadan fast, snacks during Eid, dessert at weddings , and so on. However, unfortunately rolled omelette is a moist cake that goes stale quickly, so it must be finished immediately after making this snack.
However, there is a trick to making rolled omelette so it doesn't go stale quickly, you know. This trick was shared by netizens on the Nabila Billa YouTube channel. After all, with this cooking trick, both the skin and the contents of the rolled omelette can last up to 2 days.
The first thing you have to make is the filling. Mix grated coconut, palm sugar, granulated sugar and a pinch of salt in a pan. Then, heat over low heat while continuing to stir until all the ingredients are mixed evenly.
The filling for this rolled omelette must be cooked until it is completely cooked or cooked. The reason is, if it is not yet ripe, grated coconut still tends to be damp and can quickly become stale and smelly. Once cooked, turn off the stove and set aside the rolled omelette filling so it doesn't get hot again.

Then, make the skin dough. Mix flour, boiled water, eggs, salt, and green food coloring. Stir all the ingredients with a whisk until evenly mixed and there are no lumps.
"Tips so that rolled omelette doesn't spoil easily, don't add powdered or liquid coconut milk to the dough," wrote YouTube channel owner Nabila Billa in her upload, quoted by BrilioFood on Thursday (21/3).

After the mixture is mixed evenly, immediately cook it on a non-stick Teflon dish that has been smeared with margarine using the kneading technique like when making rissol or spring roll skin. It's best to cook all the dough straight away, don't leave it aside to store in the refrigerator because it risks getting smelly.
After the rolled omelette skin is made, let it cool first before filling it with coconut filling so that this snack doesn't get damp easily. If it's damp, a well-made rolled omelette is still at risk of going stale quickly, you know.

How to store brown sugar.
To store brown sugar properly and keep it fresh and not hardening, you can follow these steps.
1. Use a tightly closed container.
Choose an airtight and tightly closed storage container to store brown sugar. Plastic or glass containers with secure lids are good choices.
2. Add moisture binder.
To prevent brown sugar from hardening due to moisture, you can add moisture binders such as rice grains, raisins, or dry pieces of parchment paper to the storage container.
3. Store in a cool and dry place.
Place the container of brown sugar in a cool, dry place, away from sources of heat or moisture. Storage in a kitchen cupboard protected from direct sunlight is ideal.
4. Keep the container clean.
Make sure the brown sugar storage container is always clean before using. This will help prevent the growth of mold or bacteria that could damage the brown sugar.
5. Check regularly.
Periodically check the brown sugar to ensure there are no signs of moisture getting into the storage container. If there is, replace the moisture binder and ensure the container remains tightly closed.
6. Separate from other ingredients.
Avoid storing brown sugar together with other food ingredients that have a strong smell or strong aroma, because brown sugar can absorb the aroma.
