- Use a spatula to lift the solid egg away from the edge of the pan and allow some of the runny egg to reach the pan and be cooked. Continue doing this until the top is no longer extremely liquid.[br][img src=”http://www.livingalifeincolour.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/meimanrensheng.com-3-cook-the-bottom_.jpg”]
- Take a plate and place it on top of the pan.[br][img src=”http://www.livingalifeincolour.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/meimanrensheng.com-4-place-a-plate-on-top-of-the-pan.jpg”]
- Invert the omelette onto the plate by putting one hand on top of the plate and the other hand hold-ing the handle to the pan and flipping the pan over.[br][img src=”http://www.livingalifeincolour.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/meimanrensheng.com-5-flip-over-onto-a-plate.jpg”]
- Moving quickly, shift the omelette onto the pan and place back on the flame until it is cooked. It should be cooked on the outside and soft on the inside without taking on much colour.[br][img src=”http://www.livingalifeincolour.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/meimanrensheng.com-6-slide-back-into-the-pan.jpg”]
