Ingredients
- 60 ml (¼ cup) peanut oil
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2.5 cm piece ginger, thinly sliced
- 2 baby bok choy, trimmed, sliced lengthwise
- ¼ Chinese cabbage, trimmed, thinly shredded
- 150 g (1½ cups) bean sprouts, plus extra, to serve
- 200 g firm tofu, cut into 3 cm pieces
- 4 eggs, beaten
- sliced red bird's-eye chillies, coriander sprigs, roasted chopped peanuts, kecap manis (see Note) and sambal oelek (see Note), to serve
Instructions
Preheat oven grill to high. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large wok over high heat, add garlic, ginger, bok choy and cabbage then cook for 1 minute or until leaves start to wilt and stems start to soften. Add sprouts and tofu and cook, tossing the wok, for 2 minutes or until vegetables are cooked and tofu is starting to turn golden.
Meanwhile, heat a small, non-stick and ovenproof frying pan over high. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, swirling to coat pan. When pan is very hot, add eggs and cook for 3 minutes, lifting up the edges of the omelette with a spatula as it cooks, allowing uncooked egg to run to edge of pan.
When omelette is set but still runny on top, place pan under grill and cook for 2 minutes or until puffy. Transfer omelette to a plate, and place stir-fried vegetables on top. Scatter with chillies, coriander, extra sprouts and peanuts, then drizzle with kecap manis and sambal oelek. Serve immediately.
