Vegetable Omelette (Telor Dadar Sayuran)
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 small carrot
- 8 green beans
- 2 small scallions (or 1 large)
- 1 stalk celery
- ½ small onion
- 4 bird’s eye chilies
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: chicken stock powder
- Cooking oil, as needed
Steps:
-
Preparation: Begin by washing all the vegetables thoroughly. Slice the carrot, green beans, scallions, and celery into thin pieces. Thin slicing ensures that the vegetables cook quickly and evenly, preventing them from becoming too chewy. Coarsely grate the carrot for a softer texture.
-
Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add a pinch of salt, pepper, and chicken stock powder if using. Whisk until well combined. Add the chopped vegetables and mix thoroughly. The mixture might seem like there isn’t enough egg at first, but don’t worry. Stir continuously for about 4-5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften and the mixture comes together.
-
Cook the Omelette: Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium-low heat and add a small amount of cooking oil. Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the pan. Cook over low heat to ensure the omelette cooks evenly without burning. Avoid flipping the omelette until the underside is fully set to prevent it from breaking apart. Once the bottom is golden and firm, gently flip it over and cook the other side until done.
-
Serve: Once cooked through, remove the omelette from the pan and let it cool slightly. Cut into four portions. This dish is perfect for a budget-friendly meal, especially for those living on their own, as it can serve as a satisfying, nutritious option for the entire day.
-
Enjoy: Serve your vegetable omelette warm. It’s a great way to incorporate a variety of vegetables into your diet while keeping the preparation simple and the flavors delightful.
Feel free to adjust the vegetables based on what you have on hand or your personal preferences. Enjoy experimenting with this versatile dish!
