Thai Omelette

Ingredients
1 Onion (thinly chopped)
2 Cloves Garlic (thinly chopped)
2 Tablespoons Chopped Green Beans
2 Tablespoons Chopped Asparagus
3 Baby Sweetcorn (thinly sliced)
1 Tomato (diced)
4 Shiitake Mushrooms (sliced)
1 1/2 Teaspoons Sugar
2 Teaspoons Soy Sauce
50ml Water
Pinch of Salt
Oil
3 Eggs (beaten)
Salt and Pepper

Equipment
1 SHARP Knife
1 Chopping Board
1 Medium Bowl
1 Frying Pan/Wok
1 Spatula

The Good Bit
  1. Heat 3 Tablespoons of groundnut oil in the pan (olive will do) fry the onion and garlic for 30 seconds then add the rest of the vegetables, the soy sauce and the sugar and stir fry for another 4 minutes.
  2. Take out of the pan and set aside, wipe the pan clean and add another dash of oil then pour in the egg and swirl it round to cover the bottom of the pan, with the spatula keep lifting the edges of the omelette to make sure it doesn't stick, when the omelette is almost firm drop the filling in the centre.
  3. Fold the edges, top and bottom over the filling to create an oblong parcel then serve and carve into 4 slices. you can add a topping of fried basil leaves for extra flare, a couple of basil leaves in the pan once your done, take out when they are wilted (seconds)
