Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

4 green onions, chopped

8 eggs

1/3 cup water

6 cooked prawns, peeled, deveined, halved lengthwise

1 cup bean sprouts, plus extra to garnish

1/4 cup coriander leaves, plus extra to garnish

oyster sauce, to serve

Method

1.For each omelette, heat a 20cm non-stick frying pan on medium. Add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, swirling to coat pan.

2.Add 1/4 of the onions and saute for 1 minute.

3.In a small bowl whisk 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon water together. Season to taste. Pour mixture into pan over onions, allow to set slightly, then pull cooked egg towards the centre with a heatproof spatula, tilting pan to allow uncooked egg to run out to edge. Repeat until omelette is set, about 1-2 minutes.

4.Scatter a few prawns, bean sprouts and coriander over omelette. Fold over to cover filling and slide out of pan. Repeat with remaining onions and eggs. Serve drizzled with oyster sauce.

Try making one large omelette in a large pan and serving it in wedges. You could also use shredded cooked chicken in place of the prawns.
