- Beat the eggs in a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and white pepper, and half the green spring onions; whisk well.
- Heat the oil in a small 24cm frying pan, add half the white spring onions and half the ginger. Sauté for 1 min until aromatic.
- Add half the carrots. Stir-fry for 4-5 mins on a high heat until the carrots are cooked and softened. Add more oil if needed.
- Spread out the veg, then add half the beaten eggs. Cook for another 1-2 mins, then carefully flip the omelette. Remove from the pan. Repeat to make a second omelette with the rest of the eggs, carrots, ginger and white spring onions.
- Serve the omelettes on top of rice and garnish with the remaining green spring onions. Top with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and a drizzle of chilli oil, sriracha or any sauce of your choice, if you like. Enjoy!
