Asian Prawn Omelette Recipes

JILL'S ASIAN OMELETTE

Steps:

• Crack 2 eggs into a small bowl and lightly beat in 1 tbsp rice wine, salt, pepper and 1⁄2 tsp sesame oil.
• To cook the omlette heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a hot wok or large frying pan over high heat, swirling it around to coat the entire surface. Pour in the beaten eggs and quickly swirl to form an even omelette. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the egg is firm, then lower the heat.
• To fill, arrange some prawns in the centre, top with bean sprouts and watercress and cook gently for a further 2 or 3 minutes.
• To serve loosen the edges with a knife, then gently slide the omelette onto a warm plate, folding it over. Keep it warm while you make three more omelettes. Drizzle with oyster or hoisin sauce to serve.

ASIAN PRAWN OMELETTE

Steps:

• Lightly combine eggs, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic and ginger.
• Heat a medium frypan to hot and add the vegetable oil.
• Add the egg mixture and give it a few good stirs to move the set mixture of the base.
• When almost set, arrange the prawns down the middle.
• Remove from the heat and then add the herbs and the sprouts. Fold the omelette and slide on to a serving plate.
• Combine the oyster and the soy sauce and drizzle it over the omelette.

CHINESE SHRIMP OMELETTE

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.

PRAWN & BROCCOLI ASIAN OMELETTE

Steps:

• Beat eggs and lemon juice together and set aside. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan. Add broccoli and stir-fry for 2 mins. Add prawns, chilli and garlic and cook until the broccoli is just done. Tip everything out onto a plate and give the pan a wipe.
• Heat a drop more oil in the pan. Pour in half the egg mix and swirl it around to make a thin omelette. Flip over to cook the other side, then lift onto a serving plate and keep warm. Quickly make another omelette. Add half the prawn mix to each, roll up and serve drizzled with some oyster sauce, if you like.
