Material Preparation
The ingredients needed to make omelet are very simple, mainly including:
Eggs
Flour
Scallion

Oil
Salt
Water
The above ingredients can be adjusted according to personal taste.
Making Steps
Step 1: Prepare the batter
Pour the right amount of flour into a bowl, add the right amount of water and mix well until there are no granular objects. Add the right amount of salt and mix well. The consistency of the batter should be moderate, too thick will affect the texture of the omelet, too thin will not be easy to fry.
Step 2: Beat the Eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl, beat them, add a good amount of salt, and mix well. If you prefer a more delicate texture, you can beat the egg whites and yolks separately and then mix them together.
Step 3: Add scallions and cilantro
Wash the scallions and cilantro and chop them finely. Add them to the beaten eggs and mix well. The addition of scallions and cilantro will add flavor and aroma to the omelet.
Step 4: Omelet
Heat a pan and add a proper amount of oil. When the oil is hot, pour in a proper amount of batter and spread it into a pancake shape. When one side is cooked, pour the egg mixture into the pan and spread well. When the egg mixture is solidified, turn the omelet over and fry for a while. The fried omelette is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with excellent color and flavor.
Tips
1. When making the batter, you can add some cornstarch moderately, which can make the omelet more crispy.
2. When frying the omelet, you can brush the bottom of the pan with a thin layer of oil, which will prevent the omelet from sticking to the pan.
3. When flipping, you can use a spatula to turn the omelette to the side of the pan, and then turn the pan over with your hands, which will prevent the omelette from breaking.
