Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Eggs
- 2 stalks Scallions (green onions), finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons White pepper (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil (vegetable or neutral oil)
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, white pepper (if using), and water. Whisk the mixture until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Add the finely chopped scallions to the egg mixture and gently stir to distribute them evenly.
Heat a non-stick or well-seasoned skillet over medium heat. Add the cooking oil and swirl to coat the surface of the pan evenly.
Once the oil is heated (but not smoking), pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed for about 1 minute or until the edges start to set.
Using a spatula, gently stir the center of the omelette to allow any uncooked egg to flow to the edges. Tilt the pan slightly to help this process.
After another 1–2 minutes, when the omelette is mostly set but still slightly soft on top, carefully fold it in half using the spatula. If desired, you can press lightly on the folded omelette to ensure an even cook.
Cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute to ensure the inside is fully cooked but still tender.
Slide the omelette onto a serving plate and cut it into portions if serving more than one person.
Garnish with extra chopped scallions if desired and serve immediately with steamed rice or as part of a larger meal.
