Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ - 3 cups cabbage finely chopped, about 6 oz/ 170 g
  • ¾ cup carrots grated about 3.5 oz/ 100 g
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or fish sauce
  • 2 green onions finely slices
  • 2 tablespoons parsley chopped, more for garnish, if desired
  • 1 mozzarella ball grated
  • 1 teaspoon roasted sesame seeds white and black for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Finely chop the cabbage and grate the carrots using the large holes of a box grater.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pan or cast-iron skillet over medium heat, then cook the chopped cabbage and grated carrots until they soften, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  3. In a big bowl, whisk together the eggs, sea salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and soy sauce until combined.
  4. Add the chopped parsley, sliced green onions, and grated mozzarella cheese into the egg mixture and stir gently.
  5. Pour this egg mixture evenly over the cooked vegetables in the pan and cover with a lid.
  6. Allow the omelette to cook over medium-low heat until the edges start to lift and only a few small wet spots appear on the surface, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  7. Carefully slide the omelette onto a plate, flip the plate and pan together quickly, then slide the omelette back into the pan to cook the other side until golden, around 3 to 4 minutes.
  8. Serve the omelette immediately, topped with extra chopped parsley and roasted sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Cabbage: Use white, green, or pointed cabbage as preferred. The amount can vary slightly from 2 ½ to 3 cups finely chopped.
  • Carrots: One medium carrot or two small carrots will give you about ¾ to 1 cup grated carrots.
  • Eggs: Large eggs are recommended; if using smaller eggs, add one or two extra.
  • Cheese: Mozzarella is great here, but feel free to substitute with Cheddar, Gouda, Parmesan, or feta for different flavors.
