Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, mix the vegan egg product with soy sauce and vegan fish sauce and mix. Add the green onions, dill, and black pepper and mix. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat oil in a medium-sized pan on medium-high heat until hot. Add the shallots and cook until translucent. Add garlic and cook for another 20–30 seconds until brown.

Step 3

Add tomatoes and cook for 2–3 minutes, until tomatoes are cooked.

Step 4

Pour in the omelette mix to form a circle over the sauteed vegetables. Change heat to low-medium. Allow to cook for 3–4 minutes or until firm.

Step 5

Flip over and cook for another 3–4 minutes. Flip to see if brown; if not, let it cook for another 1–2 minutes or until brown (if the other side needs to be cooked longer, flip and cook for a few more minutes).

Step 6

Remove from the pan and serve with sticky or steamed rice.
