Spicy omelette with kimchi and Tofu SERVES 2 0 Butter 30 g (1 oz), melted 0 Cream (optional) 1 Tbsp 0 Eggs 3 0 Cooking oil 2 Tbsp 0 Grated cheese or baby spinach to serve 0 1 packet Tofu, firm, sliced into batons, lightly fried Add the butter and cream into the eggs. Beat slightly with a fork. Heat oil in a pan and add the egg mixture. Tip the pan to distribute the eggs, so they completely cover the bottom. As it starts to firm up, run a spatula under the edges, bunching the mixture toward the centre so the remaining liquid can cook. The eggs should cook slightly yet still remain moist on top. If desired, fill the omelette with your favourite topping—chopped kimchi and lightly fried Vitasoy Tofu, as well as other favourites! Turn off the heat and fold the omelette. Slide it onto a plate. Serve immediately.
