Ingredients

• Eggs - 4 large
• Fresh spinach - 100 grams, chopped
• Green onions - 2 stalks, finely sliced
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon for cooking

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well combined. Add soy sauce, salt, and pepper, and whisk again to incorporate.
2. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add the chopped spinach and green onions to the skillet, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
4. Pour the egg mixture over the spinach and green onions, tilting the pan to ensure even coverage.
5. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the edges start to set, then gently lift the edges with a spatula to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath.
6. Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, drizzle sesame oil over the omelette.
7. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked through.
8. Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate, fold it in half, and serve immediately.
