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