Ever since I posted my Fu Yong Hai egg white omelette on Instagram. I received some requests on how to make it exactly.
This recipe was born from a little burst of inspiration and some Google searches. I adjusted this Chinese classic in order to make it low calorie friendly.
It might seem like a lot of ingredients, but most if it you probably already have in your fridge and pantry. It's quick and easy, because you can follow almost all steps in between one another.
Enjoy!
