"Scallion" Omelet

Egg mixture 

Cooking


Done

Background:
Today is a "snow day" for many in the Northeast region of the US as we're being hit by a winter storm bringing snow and sleet.  I cooked this dish for a late breakfast for Flora and myself.

Prep:
  • 4 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 sprig of scallion/green onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 TS of sesame oil
  • 1 TS of soy sauce
  • 1/2 TS of salt
Cooking:
  • Add oil and heat pan on "medium heat" - make sure you wait until pan has reached desired temperature prior to adding the egg mixture to pan
  • Combine ingredients into eggs and pour into pan
  • Allow for bottom of egg mixture to "set"
  • Gently lift the edges with your spatula and allow the excess egg mixture to flow underneath to create another "layer"
  • Once most of the liquid has set on one side, flip the omelet over and cook very briefly until barely set
  • Turn off heat and remove from pan immediately (do not let the omelet sit in the pan otherwise the residual heat will over-cook the omelet)
