Ingredients
| 2 tbsp / 30 ml | prepared hoisin sauce and water (for each wrap) |
| 1 tbsp / 15 ml | seasoned rice vinegar or lime juice |
| 1 tsp / 5 ml | honey and minced fresh ginger |
| 4 tsp / 20 ml | canola oil |
| 2 cup / 500 g | Egg Creations Whole Eggs Original, well shaken |
| 2 tbsp / 30 ml | finely chopped chives or green onion |
| 1 1/2 cup / 375 ml | hydrated rice vermicelli noodles |
| 1 | red pepper, cut into very thin strips |
| 1 | large carrot, grated |
| 1/2 | cucumber, finely diced |
| 1 | bunch fresh mint and/or basil leaves, shredded |
| 1 | large head leafy green or Boston lettuce, cleaned and separated into leaves |
Directions
Whisk the hoisin with the water, vinegar, honey and ginger; set aside.
Heat 1 tsp (5 mL) of the oil in a medium skillet. Stir the eggs with the chives. Pour one quarter of the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes or until set. Turn out onto a plate. Repeat with remaining oil and eggs. Once cool enough to handle, stack the omelets and slice into thin strips.
Pile the sliced omelets, noodles, pepper, carrot, cucumber and mint onto a platter. Serve with lettuce leaves and dipping sauce for individuals to fill, sauce and wrap to taste.
Tips
To hydrate the rice vermicelli noodles; cover 2 oz (60 g) of dry noodles with boiling water and let soak for 5 minutes or until tender. Drain and rinse under cold running water until cool. Drain well.
Toss any leftover filling ingredients and sauce (except for the lettuce) to make a quick cold, noodle salad to pack serve for lunch the next day.
Egg Creations Whole Eggs Original
