Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams fresh oysters
- 4 pieces egg whites
- 1 piece whole egg
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce (optional)
Instructions
Thoroughly clean the oysters, removing any grit or sand. Set them aside to drain in a colander.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to form a smooth slurry. This will give the omelette a slightly crisp texture.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites and whole egg together until well combined.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the egg mixture and mix well.
Season the egg mixture with the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and fish sauce. Stir to combine.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet, quickly followed by the oysters. Spread the oysters evenly over the surface.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom is set and lightly browned.
Gently flip the omelette using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the oysters are fully cooked and the omelette is golden brown.
Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the cooked omelette.
Serve the omelette hot, with chili sauce on the side if desired, to add a touch of spice.
