Steps:
- Mix cornflour and soy sauce. Then add remaining ingredients.
- Pour into a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to simmer, stirring constantly. Simmer for 1 minute until sauce thickens to thin syrup consistency. Remove from stove, set aside.
- MICROWAVE option: Microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes. Stir very well, microwave for another 1 1/2 minutes until thickened. Mix well again.
- Place pork in a bowl, add remaining ingredients. Use fork to mix through.
- Whisk eggs in a bowl.
- Add beansprouts, green onions, pork or prawns, salt and pepper. If using pork, crumble the raw pork in with fingers (see video). Mix through.
- Heat 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil and drizzle of sesame oil in a non stick skillet over medium heat. Add a bit of garlic and quickly saute (10 seconds) and push into centre of skillet.
- Ladle in 1/4 of batter. Use spatular to push edges in to form a round(ish) shape.
- Cook until the underside is light golden (about 1 1/2 minutes) then flip and cook the other side for 1 minute. The raw meat will cook through in this time. Repeat with remaining egg to make 4 omelettes (use 2 pans if you can!).
- Slide omelette onto plate. Pour over sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions, if using.
- Serve with a side of rice and steamed vegetables of choice. Double the sauce if you want enough to pour over the rice and veggies! (Click on Servings to scale recipe up).

SIX-SPICE CHICKEN OMELETTE
Quick and easy dish for anytime of the day! I had this for breakfast with a cup of hot green tea but I think this is great with jasmine rice for dinner too. The 6 spices are the Chinese 5-spice and ground coriander - makes a delicious fusion dish! To save time, while you marinate the chicken, cut the vegetables and prepare the omelette.

Steps:
- Combine chicken and other marinade ingredients in a non-reactive bowl; set aside for 15mins
- In the meantime, combine eggs, 2 TB water, black pepper together in a bowl; whisk slightly until well combined and foamy
- Heat 1 tsp of oil in a wok over med-high heat, pour 1/4 of egg mixture, tilting the wok to cover the base and side
- As the egg sets, gently lift the edge to uncooked egg runs underneath; cook for 1 minute or until set
- Slide omelette into a large plate, cover to keep warm; repeat with remaining egg to make 4 omelettes
- Heat another 2 tsp of oil in the same wok (remove any egg leftover with a clean kitchen paper towel) over med-high heat; add onions and stir fry for 2 minutes, until soft and slightly browned
- Add garlic, stir fry for another minute then add the marinated chicken, stir fry for another 2 minutes until just cooked through (unless you have a large wok, you may need to cook the chicken in 2 batches, to prevent overcrowding the wok)
- Add sliced mushrooms to the wok, stir fry the mixture for 1 min (until mushrooms are cooked)
- Now add the bean sprouts, give the mixture a good quick stir
- Quickly add the sauce (make sure it's high heat) - the sauce should boil off quickly, leaving a slightly wet mixture, like a glaze
- Divide the omelettes into 4 serving plates, top each halves with 1/4 of the filling; fold into half to enclose the filling
- Drizzle with a drops of dark soy sauce if desired and sprinkle with green onions; serve immediately

Steps:
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the ingredients for the spicy sauce except the corn (or safflower) oil, scallions, ginger root, and garlic. Heat the corn oil in a saute pan or wok. Add the scallions, ginger root and garlic and stir-fry over high heat, about 15 seconds, until fragrant. Add the combined sauce mixture and stir until thickened. Keep warm until ready to serve.
- To make the omelet, in a saute pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of the corn (or safflower) oil until hot. Add the bell pepper and snow peas and toss lightly over high heat, about 30 seconds, adding some rice wine or sake if the mixture is very dry. Add the bean sprouts and toss briefly, about 10 seconds. Remove the mixture and let cool slightly, then fold into the beaten eggs.
- Heat a large, well-seasoned omelet pan or wok and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of the corn oil. Heat until very hot. Add the eggmixture and let it set at the bottom while twirling the pan. When a thin crust begins to form, cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the omelet is puffed and lightly golden on the bottom. Using a spatula, carefully turn it over and cook until lightly golden and cooked through. (The omelet can be done ahead of time and kept warm in a 200-degree preheated oven.) When ready to serve, cut the omelet into wedges, spoon the sauce over them and sprinkle with the scallion greens.
