Chinese Omelette
« on: July 29, 2014, 12:22:01 pm »
Name of Recipe: Chinese Omelette based on Annette Sym's version in her Book 5.  

Number of People: This is for 1 serve, you can double or triple easily.

Ingredients:
2 egg whites
1 egg
1/2 tsp chicken stock powder

1/3 cup bean sprouts
1 spring onion, finely sliced
2 tbspns frozen peas
3 small slices thin ham, diced

Sauce - mix together in a microwaveable mug
1/2 tsp cornflour
1 tsp oyster sauce
35 g water

Preparation:
Place egg whites, egg and chicken stock powder in the TM bowl - mix 5 sec/speed 6.  Set aside.

Rinse bowl and wipe.

Spray bottom of bowl with olive oil spray, add spring onions, peas, bean shoots & ham.  Saute 3 mins/100o/reverse/speed 1.

Place the vegetables in a 17 cm preheated, non-stick pan, pour the egg mixture in and cook on moderate heat until reasonably set. Turn the omelette over to cook the other side for a short time.

Whilst the omelette is cooking, make the sauce by cooking for 30 seconds in a 1100 Watt microwave, stirring halfway through.

Tips/Hints:
You can add mushrooms to the recipe, use veg stock instead of chicken stock powder and leave out the ham for a vegetarian version or use chicken, prawns or, as I've done, ham in quantities that suit you.  

I found it easier to flip the omelette to cook the reverse side rather than light the grill and do it as per the recipe.

I would be careful not to overcook the eggs.

Wow! This is so much fancier than my omellettes, Judy 😄

Sometimes I just sauté some sliced onion in a wok. Add prawns if I feel a bit more "luxe" then pour in beaten eggs that had been seasoned with white pepper powder and soya sauce 😁

I bet your recipe is tastier 😋😋

Thanks Judy.  I used to often make a Chinese omelet love the bean shoots in it. .

I just noticed this didn't have many reviews and thought, "oh I will make this," then I realised it was a new recipe. Sorry Judy. In a rush and trying to find old recipes. I will keep looking bit this time I will start at the last page instead of the first.  :D
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.
