Ingredients

2 medium free-range eggs
1 tsp dark soy sauce
½ tsp Worcestershire sauce (see tip)
1 red chilli, deseeded and sliced
2 spring onions, thinly sliced
80g thinly sliced cauliflower (use a mandoline or grater)
60g pak choi, chopped
½ tbsp cornflour
Juice ½ lime
50g cucumber, halved, deseeded and thinly sliced
Low-calorie cooking spray
1 tsp oyster sauce mixed with ½ tsp water (see tip)

Method

Roughly beat the eggs, soy and Worcestershire sauce with a fork, add most of the chilli and spring onions, the cauliflower, pak choi and cornflour, then mix.
Mix the lime juice in a bowl with the cucumber, remaining chilli and spring onions and set aside.
Heat a small frying pan (about 15cm) over a medium-high heat, spray with the cooking spray, then pour in the omelette mixture and cook for 3 minutes or until browned. Using a spatula, turn and cook for 3 more minutes to brown the other side. Cover with a pan lid that fits and cook for 1-2 minutes until the cauliflower is tender. Top with the cucumber and spring onion salad and drizzle with oyster sauce.
