Recipe makes for 4 Servings

8 eggs

4by7-inch nori sheet

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 clove garlic, crushed

3 tsp finely grated fresh ginger

1 carrot, cut into batons

2 zucchini, halved lengthways, sliced on the diagonal

6 1/2 oz mix of Swiss brown, enoki and oyster mushrooms, larger ones sliced

1 tbsp Japanese soy sauce

1 tbsp mirin

2 tsp yellow miso paste


Directions:

Lightly beat the eggs. Roll the nori up tightly and snip with scissors into very fine strips. Add to the eggs and season to taste with salt and cracked black pepper

Heat a wok over high heat, add 2 tsp of the oil and swirl to coat the side of the wok. Add 1/3 cup of the egg mixture and swirl to coat the base of the wok. 

Cook for 2 minutes or until set, then turn over and cook other side for 1 minute. Remove and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding another 2 tsp of the oil each time, to make four omelets.

Heat the remaining oil in the wok, add the garlic and ginger and stir fry for 1 minute. Add the carrot, zucchini and mushrooms in two batches and stir fry for 3 minutes or until softened.


Return all the vegetables to the wok. Add the soy sauce, miring and miso paste, and simmer for 1 minute. Divide the vegetables evenly among the omelettes, roll them up and serve immediately.
