This was OK but I wish I'd also made it without the mint or coriander, while I like both it really was just too much and overpowered it. The actual omelette was great so it would have so many great possibilities and I think a light sweet & sour sauce would work really well over the top as well.

LOVED IT! Made some changes though.. I first sauteed the prawns in a pan till just cooked, transferred them onto a plate, then in the same pan with a bit more oil, added 1 roughly chopped onion with ginger and garlic and fried till lightly caramelised and then added in the egg mixture (made 1 BIG omelette!). For garnish, I sprinkled 1 tbsp of chopped coriander leaves (did not use mint) and 1 tbsp of finely chopped spring onion (since I couldn't get hold of bean sprouts this time). Thank you for sharing your recipe. Definitely a keeper.
