Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 large eggs
6 scallions, trimmed and finely sliced
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, plus 1/3 cup loosely packed leaves
1 red chile, seeded and finely chopped
2 teaspoons tamarind paste
2 tablespoons coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
Pinch of salt
6 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 ounce vermicelli rice noodles
6 tablespoons hoisin sauce
Meat from half a Chinese roast duck, or rotisserie chicken, shredded
1/2 cucumber, quartered, seeded and cut into fine matchsticks
1/3 cup shredded mint leaves

Steps:

  • Combine the eggs, scallions, 2 tablespoons cilantro, chile, tamarind, coconut milk, brown sugar and salt, and beat lightly.
  • Place a 6-inch skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 teaspoon oil. Using a small ladle, add about a sixth of the egg mixture, swirling it quickly to thinly cover the base of the pan. When the underside is golden and the top looks set, 2 to 3 minutes, turn it onto a plate to cool and repeat with the remaining egg mixture to make 5 more omelets.
  • Pour boiling water over the rice noodles and soak until soft, 5 to 10 minutes, then pour cool water over them, drain and cut into shorter lengths with kitchen scissors.
  • Lay one omelet golden-side down and spread a tablespoon of hoisin sauce over it. In a line, just off center, lay about a tablespoon of rice noodles, a little duck or chicken, cucumber matchsticks, a few cilantro leaves and a little shredded mint. Roll up as firmly as possible, from the edge nearest the filling ingredients. Cut in half through the middle, and repeat with the remaining omelets and filling.
