Green bean omelette

This is a dish that always reminds me of home and of childhood. I remember my mum making this for me and my brother for as long as I can remember. It is made with few ingredients, cheap and simple to prepare, is nutritious and tastes good -- the very essence of good old home cooking. We usually have this as one of two or three side dishes with rice.

Ingredients (serve 2 as side dish):

100g green beans/french beans
2 large eggs
1/4 tsp salt
A dash of white pepper
A few drops of sesame oil
Oil for cooking
Light soy sauce to taste (optional)

Method:

1. Top and tail the beans and finely slice them. Place in a medium sized bowl.
2. Add the eggs, salt, white pepper and sesame oil to the beans and mix well.



3. Heat some oil in a large nonstick frying pan. Ladle one scoop of the beans and eggs mixture into the pan and spread evenly. Cook on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Turn out onto a plate when cooked.
4. Repeat with the remaining beans and eggs mixture. Sprinkle the cooked green bean omelette with a few drops of light soy sauce (optional). Serve immediately.
