Ingredients
- 6 eggs

- 5 crab sticks or dried shrimp chopped
- Water for cooking
- Soy sauce for serving
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add salt, pepper, and whisk everything until well combined.6 eggs
- Mix in the green onions: Finely chop the green onions and stir them into the eggs.4 green onions
- Add the crab sticks: Cut the crab sticks into small pieces and gently fold them into the mixture. If you’re using dried shrimp, add them now.5 crab sticks or dried shrimp
- Heat the Skillet: Here’s a little trick I use—measure the same volume of water as the eggs by using the same type of bowl for both. Pour the water into a non-stick pan and set it over medium heat. Let it warm up until tiny bubbles start to form.Water for cooking
- Cook the Omelette: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. The omelette should start cooking right away. Use a spatula to gently push the edges toward the center to prevent it from burning at the bottom. Repeat this every 2-3 minutes until it’s fully cooked and the water has evaporated.
- Serve: Slide the omelette onto a plate, drizzle with soy sauce, and dig in!Soy sauce

Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet: This is essential for cooking the omelette without oil. If it sticks, let it sit for a minute after cooking—it’ll loosen up on its own.
- Whisk the eggs well: For a light and fluffy texture, whisk the eggs until frothy before cooking.
- Measure water carefully: Use a 1:1 ratio of eggs to water (e.g., 6 eggs = ½ cup/120ml water) for the perfect consistency.
- Reheating tip: To keep the omelette moist, reheat it in the microwave or a skillet with a splash of water.
- Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
