Ingredients

  • Eggs - 4 large
  • Green onions - 2 stalks, finely chopped
  • Red bell pepper - 50 grams, diced
  • Mushrooms - 50 grams, sliced
  • Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
  • Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Cooking oil - 1 tablespoon (for frying)

Steps

  1. In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined.
  2. Add chopped green onions, diced red bell pepper, sliced mushrooms, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the eggs. Mix well.
  3. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the cooking oil, swirling it to coat the bottom evenly.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the edges start to set.
  5. Gently lift the edges of the omelette with a spatula, allowing the uncooked egg to flow underneath.
  6. Once the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny on top, carefully fold it in half.
  7. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the omelette is fully cooked and the center is firm.
  8. Slide the omelette onto a plate, cut in half, and serve hot.
