Ingredients

Sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Omelette
  • 6 egg large
  • 1/3 cup bean sprout
  • 1 jalapeno pepper , sliced
  • 2 green onions , finely chopped
  • 1 cup Shrimp , cooked and chopped
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon white pepper powder
  • 2 to 8 tablespoons vegetable oil *(Footnote 1)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk together the Sauce ingredients in a saucepan over medium-low heat until the sauce simmers and thickens, about 5 minutes.
  2. Beat together the eggs, bean sprouts, green onions, shrimp, salt, and white pepper powder in a bowl until well-combined.
  3. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and scoop about 1/2 cup of the egg mixture into the skillet to make a patty.
  4. Fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side, and repeat with the remaining egg mixture. Set the patties aside.
  5. Spoon the sauce over the patties.

Notes

  • Use ample oil when frying to maintain a fluffy texture in the egg patties.
  • Reducing the oil is possible but results in denser, flatter omelettes.
