I want to share the recipe of a super easy Chinese-style pumpkin omelette today.
It has a omelette texture and the shape of a small pizza. The cooking process brings out more of the sweetness from the pumpkin.
I like making this dish for a weekend brunch once in a while, it takes 20 minutes to make and both Bryan and I love it!
You can make this dish in three easy steps:
- Season three eggs with salt, pepper and cooking wine.
- Add the pumpkin and chive into the egg mixture.
- Cook about five minutes each side until well done.
Top with sesame seeds to serve this pumpkin omelette and get ready to enjoy.
I like dipping the omelette slices in soy sauce. The sweetness of the pumpkin and the savory soy sauce compliment each other really well.
