Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • About 3 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 2 ounces julienned Chinese barbecued pork (char siu)
  • 1/4 cup julienned carrot
  • 3 ounces fresh mung bean sprouts
  • Cilantro sprigs

Instructions

  1. Lightly beat the eggs, sesame oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  2. Place a nonstick frying pan over high heat until hot. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, swirling to coat the sides. Add the barbecued pork and carrot; stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the bean sprouts and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
  3. Push the vegetable mixture to one side of the pan. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan, swirling to coat the sides.
  4. Add the egg mixture and cook without stirring. Spread the vegetable mixture back into the center of the pan.
  5. If the mixture starts to stick, add a teaspoon or two of oil. As the edges begin to set, lift with a spatula and shake or tilt the pan to let the eggs flow underneath.
  6. When the eggs no longer flow freely, turn the omelet over and brown lightly on the other side.
  7. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.
