Sauce
- Combine soy, hoisin, sesame oil, stock cube and water into a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring over a medium heat for 2 minutes. Add cornflour and cook for 3 minutes or until sauce thickens to a thin gravy consistency.
Omelette
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a small non-stick frying pan. Add garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring, for 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add pork mince and cook, stirring, using a wooden spoon to break up any lumps until browned. Add mushrooms and cabbage and cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes or until softened.
- Add green onions and sprouts and cook a further 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and place in a heatproof bowl. Set aside and keep warm. Wipe pan clean.
- Whisk eggs together and season with salt.
- Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in the same pan over medium heat. Add ¼ of the egg mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes, tilting the pan to form a round omelette. Turn over and cook for a further 1 minute or until the egg is set. Turn out onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining oil and eggs to make four omelettes.
- To serve, spoon pork and vegetable mixture on top of omelettes. Drizzle over sauce. Garnish with extra sprouts and green onions. Scatter with sesame seeds.
Notes
- Pork mince can be replaced with peeled green prawns or chicken mince.
