Instructions

1
Soak the dried shrimp in hot water for about 10 minutes to rehydrate them.
10:00 timer
2
Chop the chives into small pieces.
3
Drain the soaked dried shrimp and pat them thoroughly dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
4
Crack 3 eggs into a bowl.
5
Season the eggs with 1 teaspoon of light soy sauce and 1/2 teaspoon of white pepper.
6
Whisk the eggs until well combined.
7
In a separate small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of tapioca starch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a thick starch slurry.
8
Pour the starch slurry into the egg mixture and whisk until well combined. This helps make the omelette fluffy.
9
Heat a wok over medium heat. Add the dried shrimp and dry-fry them for 1-2 minutes to remove any remaining moisture.
2:00 timer
10
Add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the wok with the dried shrimp. Reduce heat to low.
11
Slowly fry the dried shrimp over low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are crispy and golden brown (about 3 minutes).
3:00 timer
12
Turn off the heat. Remove the crispy dried shrimp from the wok and set aside. Reserve the shrimp-infused oil in the wok.
13
Once the fried dried shrimp have cooled slightly, add them to the egg mixture.
14
Add the chopped chives to the egg mixture.
15
Add the 2 tablespoons of reserved fried shrimp oil to the egg mixture and stir well to combine all ingredients.
16
Wash the wok thoroughly. Heat the wok over high heat until hot, then reduce to low heat.
17
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of fresh cooking oil to the wok.
18
Pour the egg mixture into the hot wok. Gently spread the ingredients evenly across the pan.
19
Cook over low heat, allowing the egg to set slowly. Do not rush this step to ensure the inside cooks thoroughly without burning the outside (about 3 minutes).
3:00 timer
20
Once the surface of the omelette is mostly set and the edges are golden, carefully flip it over. You can use a spatula or toss it if you're confident.
21
Continue frying the second side for about 2 minutes until it is golden brown and crispy.
2:00 timer
22
Transfer the finished omelette to a plate and serve immediately.
