Mum's Soy Omelette

Updated: May 20


Some of you lovely people have been asking what they can do with the leftover soy marinade aside from recycling it for another batch of soy eggs. This is what I usually do. And this is also my mum's recipe.

Being a busy career lady, my mother would whip up some very simple yet hearty dishes. This is one of those nourishing dishes. This practically takes less than 30 mins to put together; from cooking the soy sauce mixture to the omelette. She can even throw in some simple congee to go with the soy omelette.

Every mouthful of this is nostalgic. If you do not have any leftover soy marinade, you can simply add soy sauce and water. I am using a 1:3 ratio as my soy sauce is pretty salty. You can start off with 10g of soy and water to kickstart. I have also included the simple congee recipe down below in case you are interested.
