Shrimp Omelette
Description
This omelette recipe combines eggs beaten with oyster sauce, fish sauce, white pepper, toasted sesame oil, and Shaoxing wine to create a flavorful egg base. Red onion rings are sautéed until aromatic and lightly caramelized, then shrimp are cooked until just turning opaque. The seasoned eggs are poured over the shrimp and onions and cooked briefly before stirring and flipping to form chunks rather than a cohesive omelette. Adding scallions last brightens the dish with a mild oniony crunch.
The finished omelette has tender shrimp pieces dispersed in softly scrambled eggs enriched by the umami of oyster sauce and Shaoxing wine. The slight caramelization of onions balances the savory flavors, making this well suited for a quick meal or brunch with a distinctly Asian flair.
This dish can also be made with crab meat instead of shrimp for a slightly different taste and texture that is also delicious.
