Egg Foo Young (chinese Omelette)
  1. Mix cornflour and soy sauce. Then add remaining ingredients.

  2. Pour into a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to simmer, stirring constantly. Simmer for 1 minute until sauce thickens to thin syrup consistency. Remove from stove, set aside.

  3. MICROWAVE option: Microwave on high for 1 ½ minutes. Stir very well, microwave for another 1 ½ minutes until thickened. Mix well again.

  4. Place pork in a bowl, add remaining ingredients. Use fork to mix through.

  5. Whisk eggs in a bowl.

  6. Add beansprouts, green onions, pork or prawns, salt and pepper. If using pork, crumble the raw pork in with fingers (see video). Mix through.

  7. Heat ½ tbsp vegetable oil and drizzle of sesame oil in a non stick skillet over medium heat. Add a bit of garlic and quickly saute (10 seconds) and push into centre of skillet.

  8. Ladle in ¼ of batter. Use spatular to push edges in to form a round(ish) shape.

  9. Cook until the underside is light golden (about 1 ½ minutes) then flip and cook the other side for 1 minute. The raw meat will cook through in this time. Repeat with remaining egg to make 4 omelettes (use 2 pans if you can!).

  10. Slide omelette onto plate. Pour over sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions, if using.
