I bought a package of frozen crabmeat and was looking for ways to use it up, since I was too lazy to make crabcakes. This is a very simple dish - I served it as a side for dinner, but I imagine it would be wonderful for breakfast/brunch too! Ingredients:
3 large eggs, lightly beaten |
1 pinch salt |
1 dash pepper |
4 teaspoons canola oil, divided |
3 -5 drops sesame oil |
1 small yellow onion, sliced thinly |
5 ounces crabmeat, thawed and drained (or 5 ounces shrimp) |
1 teaspoon light soy sauce |
1 stalk scallion, chopped |
1/2 tablespoon red chile, chopped (optional) |
Directions:
1. Lightly beat eggs with salt and pepper, set aside.
2. Heat wok with 2 tsp oil and sesame oil.
3. Add onion and fry until soft.
4. Push to one side of the wok, add crabmeat or shrimps and stir-fry well.
5. Stir in soy sauce, more salt and pepper if desired, then remove crabmeat mixture and set aside.
6. Heat the remaining 2 tsp oil in the wok; add beaten eggs.
7. Swirl pan around to spread the omelette evenly.
8. When eggs have set, add the cooked crabmeat/shrimp mixture and sprinkle with spring onion and red chillies.
9. 'Fold'in the four corners of the omelette to cover the filling.
10. Cover pan with a lid for 1 minute, then turn out omelette onto a plate and serve immediately.
