An omelette is a great compliment to any Chinese banquet and this has been a favorite with most friends we've tortured at some of our Chinese nights. See what you think.

  • ½ onion finely chopped

  • ¼ tsp pepper

  • 2 tbsp peanut cooking oil

5.            Clean and wash spring onions removing the root end, finely slice the white and green portions cross ways diagonally and set aside as garnish.

6.            Clean and finely chop or grate garlic (more the better).

7.            Place 4 eggs in a mixing bowl and add salt and pepper to taste and lightly beat.

8.            Prepare omelet sauce as per separate recipe.

9.            Heat wok and add sesame oil, garlic, prawns, onion, ham (optional), bacon and salt, and stir fry 2-3 minutes or until prawns are just turning color. Add to egg mixture and stir gently whilst adding bean sprouts.

10.          Add omelet mixture to non stick fry pan on medium heat and allow to partially set 1-2 minutes.

11.          Separate into 4 pieces and gently turn each portion over.

12.          When cooked place onto serving plate and pour over preheated omelet sauce.
