Ingredients

Sauce

  • 1 ½ Tbsp light soy sauce or gluten-free tamari
  • 4 tsp corn starch
  • 2 tsp oyster sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Shaoxing wine Chinese cooking wine
  • ½ tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 cup of water
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground pepper

Omelets

  • 6 whole eggs
  • 1 ½ cups beansprouts
  • ½ cup diced red bell pepper
  • 4 scallions sliced thinly
  • 2 Tbsp minced cilantro leaves
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 4 ounces small shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice or cauliflower rice for serving

Instructions

Sauce

  • In a measuring cup, mix together the soy sauce and corn starch until the starch dissolves.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, add the soy sauce with corn starch, oyster sauce, wine, sesame oil, water, and pepper. Simmer until the sauce thickens to a gravy consistency, stirring often. Set this aside while you cook the eggs.

Omelets

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until a little frothy.
  • Add the beansprouts, bell pepper, scallions, cilantro, salt, and pepper to the eggs. Stir to combine.
  • Fold the shrimp into the egg mixture.
  • Place a small skillet over medium heat and add 1-1/2 teaspoons of the avocado oil and 1/4 teaspoon of the sesame oil. Using a ladle, place 1/4 of the egg mixture into the hot pan. Swirl the pan so the eggs spread out to an even thickness.
  • Cook the egg mixture until it is a light golden brown on the bottom, approximately 1-1/2 minutes. Flip the omelet over and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the eggs are set and the shrimp is pink. Remove the omelet to a serving platter and repeat the process until all 4 omelets are cooked.
  • Coat the omelets in the sauce and serve immediately with rice.
