Description
A delicious and easy recipe for a Cabbage & Shrimp Egg Omelette that combines fresh ingredients for a flavorful meal.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 6 oz peeled and deveined shrimp, chopped if large
- 1½ cups finely shredded cabbage
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- ¼ tsp salt, or to taste
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 tbsp chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients. Shred the cabbage, chop the shrimp if needed, and mince the garlic and onion.
- Beat the eggs. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper until well combined.
- Sauté the aromatics. Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Cook the shrimp. Add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring, until pink and opaque.
- Add the cabbage. Stir in the shredded cabbage and soy sauce. Cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened but still tender-crisp.
- Pour in the eggs. Spread the shrimp and cabbage mixture evenly across the pan. Pour the beaten eggs over the top.
- Cook the omelette. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 4–6 minutes, until the eggs are set and cooked through. If the omelette is thick, carefully flip it or finish cooking it covered over low heat.
- Garnish and serve. Sprinkle with green onions, if desired. Slice into wedges and serve warm.
Notes
- Avoid watery cabbage: Don’t overcook it before adding the eggs.
- Keep the heat moderate: Low to medium-low heat helps the eggs cook without burning the bottom.
- Add extra flavor: A little sesame oil, chili flakes, or a dash of oyster sauce works well.
- Make it a complete meal: Serve with steamed rice or enjoy it on its own.
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave until hot throughout.
- For the best texture, serve freshly cooked.
