What could I serve with this Chinese-Style Omelette?
This Chinese-Style Omelette is delicious all on its own, or you could serve it with lots of different slimming-friendly options! Here are some ideas:
How do you know when this Chinese-Style Omelette is cooked?
You can tell your Chinese-Style Omelette is cooked when the edges are set, firm, and lift easily from the pan. This will take around 10 minutes in total.
How long can you keep this Chinese-Style Omelette in the fridge?
Once you’ve served up your Chinese-Style Omelette, ideally you should eat it straightaway.
If you do hang onto any leftovers, be sure to refrigerate them in an air-tight container with a lid (we recommend refrigerating the omelette on its own and adding the filling when you’re ready to tuck in). You can store your Chinese-Style Omelette in the fridge for 1-2 days.
Can I freeze this Chinese-Style Omelette?
No, we do not recommend freezing this recipe.
How do I reheat this Chinese-Style Omelette?
Microwave: Pop your omelette onto a microwave-safe plate, add a light sprinkle of water, then cover it with a lid or some microwave-safe wrap to help keep it lovely and moist. Heat for 30-60 seconds on a lower setting so it warms through without going rubbery.
Stovetop: Warm a non-stick pan over a low–medium heat with a little butter or oil, then add your omelette and pop a lid on. Let it heat through gently for 2-3 minutes, keeping the base soft and stopping it from catching or browning.
