35 minutes
For these delectable chilli-flavoured omelettes, the eggs are whisked with cornflour to give them a slightly firmer texture, suitable for folding around a colourful filling of stir-fried rice noodles and vegetables.

- Mix the cornflour with 3 tablespoons cold water in a bowl. Add the eggs and whisk together until mixed. Stir in the chillies and season with pepper.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of the canola oil in a 20-cm nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Pour in one-quarter of the egg mixture, tipping the pan to spread out the egg in a thin, even layer. Cook for 2 minutes or until set and golden-brown.
- Slide the omelette out of the pan onto a plate. Make 3 more omelettes in the same way, stacking them up interleaved with greaseproof paper. Set aside and keep warm.
- While making the omelettes, soak the rice noodles in boiling water to cover for 4 minutes, or according to the packet instructions, then drain.
- Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons canola oil with the sesame oil in a wok or large frying pan. Add the mushrooms, carrots, capsicum and cabbage and stir-fry for 4–5 minutes or until just tender. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, ginger and rice noodles. Gently toss together until hot.
- Divide the vegetable and noodle mixture among the omelettes and fold them over in half. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds, if using, and serve at once.
