Ingredients
For the omelet:
- 1 can bean sprouts , drained (or use fresh bean sprouts instead)
- 4 water chestnuts , chopped
- ½ cup chopped green onions
- ½ cup chopped celery
- 1 cup mushrooms
- 6 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the gravy:
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
The omelet:
- In a skillet, cook the bean sprouts, chestnuts, green onions, celery, mushrooms for about 5 minutes, until slightly softened. Transfer to a plate and let cool.
- In a big bowl, add the eggs, sesame oil, and salt. Beat with a fork to combine. Add the cooked veggies and mix well.
- Add some oil to a skillet. Divide the egg-vegetable mixture into 3 parts or more if you like and cook on both sides until set. I recommend using a smaller skillet for this. Repeat with all the remaining mixture.
The gravy:
- Heat the broth, soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar in a saucepan. Mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl and add to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the gravy has boiled and thickened a little bit. Serve over the omelet. Enjoy!
Notes
The amounts of the veggies are not strict for this recipe. You can use more or less any of them.
