Ingredients

  • 2 tsp vegetable oil
  • 2 large British Lion eggs
  • 1/2 tsp caster sugar

Cook for 1 more minute then carefully transfer to a warm plate.
  2. Add the remaining oil to the pan, add the onions, mangetout, mushrooms and chilli and stir fry for 2 minutes or until tender. Stir in the coriander and oyster sauce and remove from the heat.
  3. Scatter the vegetables into the centre of the omelette, fold over the sides to enclose and make a parcel then serve seam side down on a plate. Make a cross in the top of the omelette and open up to reveal the filling. Serve hot.
