Instructions
-
Prepare the Eggs: Begin by cracking the eggs into a bowl, adding a pinch of salt, and whisking them until well combined. Set aside.
-
-
Sauté Aromatics: In a hot skillet, add a drizzle of oil and sauté the sliced red shallots until they become fragrant and slightly golden.
-
Incorporate Chilies: Add the sliced bird’s eye chilies and curly red chilies to the pan, stirring them until they soften and release their flavors into the oil.
-
Cook the Omelette: Pour in the prepared egg mixture, followed by the sweet soy sauce and the additional seasonings (ground pepper, chicken broth powder, and salt). Gently stir everything together until well mixed, ensuring that the eggs begin to set.
-
Add the Veggies: Once the eggs start to firm up, fold in the sliced green onions and the bean sprouts. Increase the heat to high, stirring quickly to combine all the ingredients while ensuring the omelette retains its fluffiness.
-
Final Touches: Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, then cook for an additional minute or two until the bean sprouts are tender yet still crisp. Remove from heat.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the omelette to a serving platter and enjoy it warm. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or can be enjoyed on its own for a light meal.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute green onions with leeks for a different flavor profile.
- If you prefer a milder dish, consider replacing the curly red chilies with larger red bell peppers or green chilies.
