Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 200 grams fresh oysters
- 2 cups egg whites
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the oysters: drain them if they are in a liquid, and pat dry with paper towels.
Chop the green onions, mince the garlic, and roughly chop the cilantro leaves. Set these aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth to form a slurry.
Crack the eggs into a large bowl, and add the egg whites. Beat well until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
Mix in the soy sauce, fish sauce, and black pepper into the egg mixture, followed by the cornstarch slurry. Stir until all combined.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add the oysters to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until they just start to firm up.
Pour the egg mixture over the oysters in the skillet, and scatter the chopped green onions over the top.
Cook the omelette for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom sets and turns golden brown.
Using a spatula, carefully fold or flip the omelette and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the other side is also golden and fully cooked.
Slide the omelette onto a serving plate, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve immediately.
