How to cook it
-
Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat well until fully combined and slightly frothy.
-
Thinly slice the scallions and stir them into the eggs along with the salt and black pepper.
-
Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.
-
Pour in the egg mixture, tilting the pan so it spreads into an even layer.
-
Let it cook undisturbed until the edges puff and turn golden and the bottom is set, about 2 minutes.
-
Carefully flip the omelette in one piece, or in sections if easier, and cook the second side until fully set and lightly browned, about 2 minutes more.
-
Slide onto a cutting board, cut into wedges, and serve hot with rice.
