In Asian cooking, shreds made from very thin omelettes are used as toppings and garnishes. For a dish to serve four, use 1 egg beaten with a pinch of salt. Cook the omelette in a wok.

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil. Swirl in egg. Cook over moderate heat for 1-2 minutes.

  2. Slide the omelette out of the wok, roll up and let cool. Shred crosswise.
