This traditional Asian omelette combines eggs, turkey, and tasty greens into a flavour-filled dish to impress your guests with.
Ingredients
100 g minced turkey
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
2 2/3 cups (200g) shredded Chinese cabbage
1 cup (90g) bean sprouts, trimmed
1/4 cup (35g) frozen peas
125g slices smoked turkey or chicken, chopped
2/3 cup (110 g) canned water chestnuts, sliced
2 spring onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped, plus extra, to serve
6 eggs
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 1/2 tablespoons black bean sauce
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
chilli sauce, to taste
Preparation
Preheat the grill (broiler) to high. Use your hands to mix together the minced turkey with 1 teaspoon of the soy sauce until well combined. Heat the sunflower oil in a heavy-based ovenproof frying pan, add the turkey and cook for 3–5 minutes, breaking up any large lumps with a spoon, until lightly browned. Add the cabbage, bean sprouts, peas, smoked turkey, water chestnuts, spring onion and coriander and stir-fry for about 2–3 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened slightly.
Lightly beat the eggs with the garlic, ginger, sherry and remaining soy sauce. Add to the pan, pouring the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables and turkey. Cook, stirring gently with a wooden spatula and lifting the sides of the omelette to let the uncooked egg mixture run onto the pan, until the omelette is set. Slide the pan under the grill and cook briefly to set the egg on top.
Meanwhile, mix together the sesame oil, bean sauce, balsamic vinegar and chilli sauce in a bowl.
Cut the omelette into wedges and serve drizzled with the sauce mixture and garnished with extra coriander.
Here's a great new way to scramble eggs – cooked in a double saucepan or in a bowl over simmering water, without any butter, then mixed with crème fraîche for a creamy result. With strips of smoked salmon and fresh dill, this is the ultimate luxury brunch dish.
Flakes of smoked trout, cream cheese and fresh dill combine to make a well–flavoured filling for this light spinach roll. It is much simpler to make than it looks – just make sure that the spinach is squeezed really dry before adding to the sauce base.
The hollows in hard–boiled egg halves make perfect containers for a tasty filling – here carrot and chive – and the eggs look attractive served on a bed of ribbon vegetables and lamb's lettuce. All you need is some bread to make a satisfying lunch.
For these delectable chilli–flavoured omelettes, the eggs are whisked with cornflour to give them a slightly firmer texture, suitable for folding round a colourful and tasty filling of stir–fried vegetables and rice noodles.
