One-Pan Omelette (Mince Pork, French Beans)

This is a one-pan omelette with mince pork and french beans. I do everything in the same pan – frying the pork & French beans, steaming the egg and serving.  I call this cooking style ‘lazy’ (but so efficient!)  Check out the ingredients & step-by-step photos on this page.

Cooking Note (s):

  1. Dashi powder is a Japanese ingredient used to season this omelette. If you don’t have dashi powder, substitute with 1/2 tsp light soy sauce.
  2. You can use a pan slightly smaller or bigger than 20cm (example 18 cm or 22 cm) to make this omelette.
