Background

This Asian-style shrimp frittata is very tasty and easy to make. A perfect and healthy treat for lunch or brunch. Or cut it up into little cubes and serve them as nibbles/tapas at drink-parties.

Ingredients

5 eggs
1 Tbsp soya milk
2 tsp light soya sauce
2 Tbsp oil
3 thin slices of ginger
1 sprig of celery
5 spring onions
150g bean sprouts
1 Tbsp sesame seeds
100g cooked shrimp or prawns

Instructions

Beat the eggs with the soya milk and soya sauce.
Finely chop the celery, spring onions and ginger.
In a large frying pan heat half of the oil and stir-fry the chopped vegetables. Add the bean sprouts, sesame seeds and shrimp. Stir for a minute then transfer to a plate.
Pour the remaining oil into the pan. When hot, add the egg mixture and let it spread out evenly.
Using a wooden spatula, pull back the edges towards the middle, tipping the pan to allow some of the uncooked egg to go underneath, then add the shrimp -mixture and spread evenly. Cover with a lid and cook for a couple of minutes at low temperature.
Warm up the grill.
When the surface of the omelette is jelly-like, put the pan under the grill to brown the top.
Cut it into wedges and serve with bread and a green salad.
