Taiwanese Omelette (Vegan & Gluten-Free)
A savoury and satisfying gluten-free and vegan omelette made with chickpea flour and filled with veggies, inspired by Taiwanese street food.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpea Flour
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tbsp Soy Sauce (Gluten-Free Tamari)
- 1/4 tsp White Pepper
- 1 cup Spinach
- 1/2 cup Carrot
- 1/2 cup Shiitake Mushrooms
- 2 tbsp Neutral Oil
- 2 tbsp Sweet Chili Sauce (Gluten-Free)
Instructions
- 1In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 cup chickpea flour, 1 cup water, 1 tbsp soy sauce (Gluten-Free Tamari), and 1/4 tsp white pepper until the mixture is completely smooth. Let this batter rest for 5 minutes.
- 2While the batter rests, prepare your vegetables: finely chop the 1 cup spinach, grate the 1/2 cup carrot, and thinly slice the 1/2 cup shiitake mushrooms.
- 3Place a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat, which is about 350°F (175°C). Add 1 tbsp of the 2 tbsp neutral oil to the skillet and let it heat until it shimmers.
- 4Pour half of the chickpea flour batter into the heated skillet, tilting the pan to spread it into an even circle. Immediately sprinkle half of the chopped 1 cup spinach, half of the grated 1/2 cup carrot, and half of the sliced 1/2 cup shiitake mushrooms evenly over the batter.
- 5Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the edges of the omelette look dry and the bottom is a light golden brown. You should see small bubbles forming on the surface, and the batter should appear set.
- 6Carefully slide a spatula under the omelette and confidently flip it over. Cook the second side for another 2 to 3 minutes, until it is also golden brown and the vegetables are tender.
- 7Slide the cooked omelette from the skillet onto a plate. Drizzle half of the 2 tbsp sweet chili sauce (Gluten-Free) over the top. Repeat steps 3 through 8 with the remaining 1 tbsp neutral oil, the rest of the batter, vegetables, and sweet chili sauce to make the second omelette.
