Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped shiitake mushrooms (fresh or rehydrated dried)
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions (white and green parts)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped bell pepper (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger (fresh preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • Pinch of white pepper (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil (vegetable or canola oil)
  • Optional garnishes: fresh cilantro, extra sliced green onions, chili oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add chopped mushrooms, carrots, bell pepper, and green onions. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables soften but retain some bite.
  3. Add soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, and a pinch of white pepper. Stir to combine, then remove filling from pan and set aside.
  4. Whisk the eggs vigorously in a mixing bowl until pale yellow and frothy, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Wipe the skillet clean and heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-low heat. Pour in half the beaten eggs, swirling to coat the surface evenly.
  6. Cook gently without stirring until the bottom sets and the top is still slightly runny, about 5-7 minutes.
  7. Spoon half the vegetable filling over one side of the omelette. Carefully fold the other half over the filling using a spatula.
  8. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to finish cooking and warm the filling through. Slide the omelette onto a plate.
  9. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining eggs and filling.
  10. Serve warm, garnished with extra green onions, cilantro, or a drizzle of chili oil if desired.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better fluffiness. Whisk eggs thoroughly until pale and frothy to incorporate air. Cook on medium-low heat to avoid browning and ensure puffiness. Use a flexible spatula to fold gently without tearing. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Variations include adding shrimp, chicken, tofu, or cheese for protein boost or flavor.
