Chef’s Tips
Use Fresh Chives: Fresh garlic chives have a stronger aroma and better texture. If they look slightly wilted, you can still use them
Add Cornstarch for a Softer Texture: Mixing a little cornstarch with the eggs helps create a slightly fluffier and softer omelette. Dissolve the cornstarch in a little water before adding. Make sure there are no clumps of dry flour.
Preheat the Pan Properly: Make sure your pan is hot before adding oil, and wait until the oil starts shimmering and forming ripples. This prevents the eggs from sticking.
Let the Eggs Set Before Moving Them: When you pour in the egg mixture, don’t stir or move it immediately. Let it cook undisturbed until the edges start to firm up and the middle part set. For the omelette to be more fragrant, cook until the base turns golden brown, then flip over.
Flip in Sections for Easy Handling: Instead of flipping the entire omelette at once, you can divide it into smaller sections and flip them individually. This prevents breaking and makes it easier to cook evenly.
