Omelette with Sweet & Sour Tomato Sauce

Omelette With Sweet & Sour Tomato Sauce

SERVES: 4

PREPARATION: 10 MINS

COOK: 10 MINS

There was a definite plan on my part this weekend to be lazy! In the plan was lying about on the couch reading, watching movies and cooking something quick and tasty. Daniel had earmarked this Kylie Kwong recipe from the August 2009 edition of Australian Good Food Magazine so I thought it was time to give it a whirl :) 

Ingredients

1/4 cup (60ml) peanut oil

6 eggs, lightly beaten

1 long red chilli, finely sliced diagonally, to serve (optional)

Sweet & Sour Tomato Sauce 

2 tbsp peanut oil

3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped

1cm piece ginger, cut into matchsticks 

1 tsp brown sugar

6 red cherry tomatoes, halved

6 yellow cherry tomatoes, halved (I couldn't get yellow cherry tomatoes so doubled the red) 

3 green onions (shallots, spring onions), finely sliced

2 tbsp shaoxing wine (Chinese rice wine) or dry sherry (I used the dry sherry)

1 tsp soy sauce

1 tbsp brown rice vinegar

1/2 tsp sesame oil

Method

To make sauce, heat peanut oil in a wok on medium, until surface seems to shimmer slightly, add garlic and ginger and stir fry for 2 mins until fragrant. Add sugar and cook for 30 secs, until caramelised. Add tomato and green onion and stir fry for 1 min, until starting to soften. Add wine, soy sauce and vinegar and stir fry for 30 seconds. Stir through sesame oil. Remove from heat and set aside. 

Heat oil in a wok on medium-high. Add egg and cook for 30 secs, without stirring. Using a spatula, pull outside edge of egg toward centre, allowing uncooked egg in centre to run to edge. Repeat until omelette is almost set. Transfer to a serving platter.

Meanwhile, reheat sauce on low. Spoon over omelette and serve with chilli & steamed rice 

My Notes

The cooking time for this dish is over estimated, it is SO quick to make so have all your ingredients measured out and ready to go!

I didn't halve my tomatoes I squished them as they softened. 

You would be hard pushed to serve 4 with this dish :) or maybe we are just greedy! it served 2 with no rice. 

Absolutely mouthwatering delicious snack :)
