Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 200 grams fresh oysters
  • 2 cups egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 stalks green onions
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the oysters: drain them if they are in a liquid, and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Chop the green onions, mince the garlic, and roughly chop the cilantro leaves. Set these aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth to form a slurry.

Step 4

Crack the eggs into a large bowl, and add the egg whites. Beat well until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.

Step 5

Mix in the soy sauce, fish sauce, and black pepper into the egg mixture, followed by the cornstarch slurry. Stir until all combined.

Step 6

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the oysters to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until they just start to firm up.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture over the oysters in the skillet, and scatter the chopped green onions over the top.

Step 9

Cook the omelette for about 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom sets and turns golden brown.

Step 10

Using a spatula, carefully fold or flip the omelette and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the other side is also golden and fully cooked.

Step 11

Slide the omelette onto a serving plate, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve immediately.
