Step 1
In a medium sized bowl, whisk together eggs, 1 teaspoon sesame oil and 2 teaspoons soy sauce.

In an 8vinch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat, add beaten eggs and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and set. Flip over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side. Once cooked, remove the egg omelette from the pan, cut into small pieces and set aside.
