Thai Mushroom Omelette
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 small red chile, sliced into strips
- 10 cm cucumbers
- 1 (400 g) can straw mushrooms
- 4 large eggs
- 1 12 tablespoons vegetable oil
- salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped coriander
- 1 head leafy lettuce
- Peel the cucumber, split it lengthways and use a spoon to scrape out the seeds.
- Slice into half moons.
- Drain the mushrooms.
- Whisk the eggs with a bit of oil and season with salt, pepper and half the coriander.
- Separate the lettuce leaves, wash and shake dry.
- Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan.
- Saute the onion and chilli for a 5-6 minutes.
- Add the cucumber and the remaining coriander and cook for a couple minutes more.
- Add the mushrooms and warm through.
- Increase the heat and add the egg, tilting the pant to spread it evenly.
- Let sit for a couple seconds, then use a spatula to draw some of the omelette into the centre, tilting the pan so any uncooked egg runs into the space.
- When the egg sets underneath but is still a bit runny on top, tip the pan away from you and use the spatula to fold the omelette in half.
- Slide in on to a plate, cut in half and slide one piece onto a second plate.
- Serve with the lettuce and any extra coriander.
