Method
- Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan over
medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, shaking the pan gently, until the seeds
are golden brown
- Remove from the pan at once to prevent
burning

onions and discard and take off the outside layer and discard
- Make a bunch of the green stems, then
trim them all to the same size, cutting off the skinny tip

large pot of boiling water and cook for about 30 seconds or until
softened

water

until they are foamy
- Brush a medium sized frying pan with the
oil, and place it over medium heat

for 2 minutes. Run a spatula around the edge of the omelet to loosen it,
then turn the omelet over and cook it for a further 2 minutes
- Remove the omelet from the pan and cook
the remaining egg mixture
- Trim the curved edges from the omelets
to make a square shape
