Description
A wholesome weeknight meal that’s quick to make and customizable to suit your family’s tastes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg
- 6 tablespoons canned chicken (drained and shredded, optional)
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 sheets rice paper
- 2 teaspoons chili oil (or chili crisp)
- 4 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 2 tablespoons green onion (thinly sliced)
Instructions
- Prep the egg: Lightly beat the egg with a fork in a small bowl—just enough to combine the yolk and white without making it frothy. Set aside while we get everything else ready.
- Season the chicken: Combine the shredded chicken with a couple of pinches of ground black pepper. Set aside.
- Heat the pan: Place a non-stick frying pan on medium heat. No need for oil or water, just dry heat. Let it warm up just enough.
- Prepare the rice paper: Once the pan is warm, place one dry sheet of rice paper directly on it, textured side up. Warm it for about 1-2 minutes, gently pressing down with a spatula to help it heat evenly.
- Add flavor: When the rice paper starts to become opaque, drizzle 1 teaspoon of chili oil over the top and spread it around.
- Pour in the egg: Pour in half of your beaten egg—about half an egg per rice paper sheet works well. Spread it out to cover the rice paper.
- Let it cook: Allow the egg to cook until it starts to set, about a minute. Then, sprinkle 3 tablespoons of the seasoned chicken and 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese evenly over the egg.
- Melt away: Cook for another minute or two until the cheese melts and the egg is cooked through.
- Add the good stuff: Drizzle 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise and ½ teaspoon of sriracha on top.
- Garnish: Top with 1 tablespoon of green onions before sliding the omelette onto a plate. Serve immediately.
- Repeat: Clean the pan and repeat the steps for the second rice paper sheet.
