Method

Whisk together the eggs, garlic, spring onions, sea salt, shaoxing and oyster sauce.

Heat the oil in a wok over high heat until just smoking, drop in the egg mixture and gently stir until almost set. Add the oysters and carefully flip the omelette over. Cook until starting to crisp underneath, slide onto a plate, drizzle with chilli sauce and serve.
