Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ – 3 cups cabbage finely chopped about 6 oz or 170 g Note 1
- ¾ cup carrots grated about 3.5 oz or 100 g Note 2
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 large eggs Note 3
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or fish sauce
- 2 green onions finely slices
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped more for garnish if desired
- 1 mozzarella ball grated Note 4
- 1 teaspoon roasted sesame seeds white and black for garnish optional
Instructions
- Use a large grater to finely chop the cabbage and grate the carrots using the bigger holes.
- Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat and cook the cabbage and carrots until soft, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- In a big bowl, beat the eggs with salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and soy sauce, then fold in the parsley, green onions, and grated mozzarella.
- Pour the egg mix over the cooked vegetables, cover the pan, and cook on medium-low until the edges lift and the surface shows only a few liquid spots, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate, flip the plate and pan together to turn the omelette, then return it to the pan to cook the other side until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Serve right away, sprinkled with additional parsley and optional roasted sesame seeds.
