Ingredients
Method
- Lightly whisk the eggs with three pinches of salt (or 1 tsp of soy sauce) in a bowl.
- Slice the spring onion diagonally. Thinly slice the red pepper. Torn the chicken into small bits.
- Heat one knob of butter or 1 Tbsp oil in a frying pan. Pour in the egg and tilt the pan around letting the mixture spread out evenly.
- Scatter the spring onion, pepper and chicken on the top, then add the pepper/chilli . Put a lid on, turn down the heat, and let it steam. After about five minutes check it. If the surface is glossy and no longer runny, the omelette is ready to be folded.
- Scatter some herbs on the top, season with salt & pepper and fold in half. Cook for another minute then slide it onto a plate.
