  4. Heat 1 teaspoon of the sunflower oil in a 20 cm non–stick frying pan over a moderate heat.
  5. Pour in one–quarter of the egg mixture, tipping the pan to spread out the egg in a thin, even layer.
  6. Cook for 2 minutes, or until set and golden brown underneath.
  7. Slide the omelette out of the pan onto a plate.
  8. Make 3 more omelettes in the same way, stacking them up interleaved with baking paper.

  10. While making the omelettes, soak the noodles in boiling water and cover for 4 minutes, or according to the packet instructions, then drain thoroughly.
  11. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons sunflower oil with the sesame oil in a wok or large frying pan.
  12. Add the mushrooms, carrots, capsicum and cabbage, and stir–fry for 4–5 minutes, or until just tender.
  13. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and softened rice noodles.
  14. Gently toss together until piping hot.
