How To Make Chive Omelette Stir-Fry Recipe
1- Whisk together the eggs and chives in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and whisk again.
2- Heat about 1 teaspoon of the groundnut oil in a small frying pan, and pour in just enough of the egg mixture to cover the bottom of the pan.
3- Cook for about 1 minute until set, then turn over and cook the omelette on the other side for a further minute.
4- Tip out the omelette onto a plate, and cook the rest of the egg mixture in the same way to make two or three small omelettes, adding extra oil to the pan if necessary.
5- Roll up each omelette and slice thinly. Keep the omelettes warm until required.
6- Heat the remaining groundnut oil in a wok or large frying pan, add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for a few seconds.
7- Add the celery, carrots and courgettes, and stir-fry for about 1 minute. Add the radishes, spring onions, beansprouts and Chinese leaves, and stir-fry for a further 3 minutes until all the vegetables are tender but still with a bite.
8- Sprinkle the sesame oil over the vegetables, and toss gently.
9- Serve the vegetables at once, with the omelette scattered over the top.
