    • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
    • Pour half of the egg mixture into the skillet and swirl it around to form a thin layer.
    • Cook the omelette for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is set and lightly golden. Then, carefully flip it over and cook for another minute. Repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture.
    • Once both omelettes are cooked, transfer them to a plate and set aside.

    • In the same skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat.
    • Add the minced garlic and sliced onion, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
    • Add the julienned red bell pepper and carrot to the skillet, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
    • Add the broccoli florets and snap peas to the skillet, and continue to stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender yet crisp.
    • In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey or brown sugar, and grated ginger to make the sauce.
    • Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the skillet and toss everything together until well coated. Cook for another minute.

  3. Assemble the Omelette Parcels:
    • Place one omelette on a clean work surface and spoon half of the stir-fried vegetables onto one half of the omelette.
    • Carefully fold the other half of the omelette over the vegetables to form a semi-circle shape.
