Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 eggs
1 cup shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1/4 cup green onion (finely chopped)
2 tsp regular soy sauce (not light or dark!)
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, crack and whisk together the eggs, green onions, soy sauce and sesame oil together until smooth for about 30 seconds. Do not overmix.
  • Then in a well seasoned wok or non-stick pan, bring it to medium heat. Add cooking oil. If you're cooking in a wok, allow the oil to smoke (if you're not using a wok skip this step).
  • Next toss in your shrimp and fry until 50% cooked. Do not cook all the way through. Then lower the heat to LOW setting.
  • Pour your egg mixture in. Use a spatula to pull the edges of the omelette inward, continually doing this until your eggs are cooked, silky and glossy. Once cooked, remove off heat and enjoy! If you like your omelette more cooked, you can brown the omelette and it'll taste really delicious as well.

YUM !! I finally got this down to as good as any omlette I have had in a Chinese restaurant. A great addition to your other chinese dish.

Provided by Captain_67

Categories     Asian

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 medium shrimp
4 eggs, beaten
1/4 onion, sliced
1 green onion, sliced
1/3 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons oyster sauce
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Prepare sauce by adding oyster sauce to chicken broth then whisk.
  • Heat wok or skillet until extremely hot.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of oil & stir fry shrimp, onion & green onion until just cooked then remove.
  • Add 2 tablespoons oil to wok & when hot, add the beaten eggs.
  • Return shrimp & onions to wok.
  • Stir in the shrimp once so they become part of the omlette & then let them sit, continue to break holes in the egg between the shrimp to allow raw egg to contact the wok.
  • Jiggle, poke & shimmy the omlette to prevent sticking until mostly cooked.
  • Flip or turn omlette & finish cooking on other side for a few second then turn out onto warm plate & cover with foil.
  • Return wok to heat.
  • Add cornstarch to sauce & whisk then add to wok.
  • Boil sauce until thick then pour over omlette.
  • A "slight" burn on the egg tastes great with the sauce but not too much.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh prawns. Frozen prawns can be used, but they should be thawed and patted dry before cooking.
  • Use a nonstick skillet or pan to prevent the omelette from sticking.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat before adding the prawns and eggs. This will help to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
  • Don't overcook the omelette. The eggs should be cooked through, but still slightly soft and fluffy.
  • Serve the omelette immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

This Asian prawn omelette is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With its combination of prawns, eggs, and vegetables, this omelette is packed with flavor and nutrients. Whether you serve it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this omelette is sure to be a hit.
