Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- eggs 3
- crab meat (or imitation crab) to taste
- green onion (green onion slices) 1 bunch
- ginger paste 1/3 teaspoon
- salt a pinch
- black pepper a pinch
- chicken powder (optional) a pinch
- vegetable oil as needed
Recipe 🍳
- Crack 3 eggs into a bowl and add a pinch of salt, black pepper, and chicken powder. Mix lightly to season.
- Add finely sliced green onions and ginger paste. Stir well with chopsticks.
- Tear the crab meat into thin strands and mix into the batter, ensuring even distribution of juices.
- Heat a pan with oil, then pour in the egg mixture.
- Stir gently from the center with chopsticks to cook the center thoroughly, keeping it thick.
- Once the bottom sets, carefully swirl a little oil around the edges and adjust heat to medium-low to brown the underside evenly.
- Use a plate or carefully tilt the pan to flip the omelette, then cook the other side until golden brown.
- Cut the finished omelette into pizza-like wedges and serve on a plate.
- Season eggs with salt, pepper, and chicken powder, then mix well.
- Add green onion slices, ginger paste, and torn crab meat. Mix thoroughly.
- Pour the batter into a heated pan and cook the center first, making it thick.
- Brown both sides evenly, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
Cooking tips 💡
- The key to this dish is 'ginger paste'. It eliminates any fishy odor from crab and eggs while adding the refined, authentic flavor characteristic of Chinese cuisine.
- Since the batter is thick, avoid high heat—cook the center first, then use medium-low heat to ensure even, gentle cooking without burning the outside.
