A fluffy and savory Chinese Omelette filled with tender shrimp, crisp vegetables, and seasoned eggs, pan-fried to golden perfection. Quick, satisfying, and perfect for any meal of the day.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 150 grams raw small shrimp, peeled and cleaned
  • 3 green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1 small carrot, finely shredded
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until slightly frothy.
  3. Add shrimp, green onions, red bell pepper, carrot, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
  4. Add cooking oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the surface evenly.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly.
  6. Cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes until the bottom is lightly golden and set.
