Weight-Loss Stir-Fry with Omelette

Preparing the Omelette

1. Whisk Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Cook Omelette: Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil or cooking spray in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook undisturbed until the edges begin to set. Use a spatula to gently lift the edges and allow any uncooked egg to flow underneath. Once the omelette is fully set, slide it onto a plate and let it cool slightly. Roll the omelette up and slice it into thin strips. Set aside.

Preparing the Stir-Fry

3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or avocado oil over medium-high heat.
4. Sauté Aromatics: Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
5. Add Vegetables: Add the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli, snap peas, mushrooms, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
6. Add Chicken (Optional): If using cooked chicken breast, add the slices to the skillet and stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
7. Season Stir-Fry: In a small bowl, mix together the low-sodium soy sauce or tamari, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). Pour the sauce over the vegetables and chicken in the skillet. Toss to coat evenly and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Combining and Serving

8. Add Omelette Strips: Gently fold the omelette strips into the stir-fry mixture, being careful not to break them up too much.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle the chopped green onions and sesame seeds (if using) over the top of the stir-fry.
10. Serve: Divide the stir-fry between plates or bowls and serve immediately.
