Ingredients for Asian Prawn Omelette

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce + 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce (for drizzle)
  • 1 clove minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • King Prawns
  • Mint Leaf
  • Coriander Leaves
  • Bean Sprouts
  • Oyster Sauce
  • Light Soy Sauce

How to Make Asian Prawn Omelette

  1. In a bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a medium-sized non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan. Let it cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently push the cooked edges towards the center with a spatula, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Repeat until mostly set but still slightly wet on top.
  4. Arrange 150g cooked prawns down the center of the omelette.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon chopped coriander (optional) and 1/4 cup bean sprouts (optional).
  6. Carefully fold the omelette in half, using the spatula to assist.
  7. Slide the omelette onto a serving plate. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon oyster sauce and 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce. Drizzle this mixture over the omelette.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
