Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Egg whites
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 0.5 cup (shredded) Carrot
- 0.5 cup (diced) Red bell pepper
- 1 cup (chopped) Fresh spinach
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk the egg whites with the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the green onions, shred the carrot, dice the red bell pepper, and chop the fresh spinach.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Add the green onions, carrot, red bell pepper, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted. Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a plate and set aside.
Re-coat the skillet with non-stick cooking spray, then pour in the whisked egg mixture. Tilt the skillet slightly to spread the egg whites evenly across the surface.
Cook the egg mixture over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until it begins to set on the edges.
Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly over one half of the omelet. Use a spatula to carefully fold the other half of the omelet over the vegetables.
Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes until the omelet is cooked through and slightly golden on the bottom.
Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate and serve hot. Enjoy your healthy Low Fat Chinese Omelet!
