Ingredients

6 large eggs
1 cup shrimp peeled and deveined
¼ cup green onion finely chopped
2 teaspoon regular soy sauce (not dark soy sauce)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, crack and beat together the eggs, green onion, soy sauce and sesame oil together until smooth for about 30 seconds.
Then heat oil in a wok or non-stick pan on medium heat. If you’re cooking in a wok, allow the oil to smoke (if you’re not using a wok skip this step).
Next toss in your shrimp and fry until pink and curled. Then lower the heat to LOW setting.
Pour your egg mixture in.
Use a spatula to pull the edges of the omelette inward, continually doing this until your eggs are cooked, silky and glossy. Once cooked, remove off heat and enjoy!
