Telur Dadar Cincang Recipe (Minced Meat Omelette)

Eggs: The base of the omelette, providing structure and richness.

Minced meat: Adds a hearty and savory element to the dish.

Onion: Finely chopped to add sweetness and texture.

Garlic: Minced to infuse the omelette with aromatic flavor.

Soy sauce: Enhances the umami taste of the dish.

Vegetable oil: Used for frying the omelette to a golden brown.

Salt: Seasons the omelette to taste.

Pepper: Adds a hint of spice and depth.

When preparing the minced meat for the omelette, ensure it is cooked thoroughly before adding it to the egg mixture. This can be done by sautéing the minced meat with a bit of oil in a separate pan until it is browned and fully cooked. This step not only enhances the flavor but also ensures that the omelette cooks evenly without any raw meat inside.

• eggs - Substitute with flaxseed meal and water mixture: Mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons of water for each egg. This works well as a binder and adds a nutty flavor.

• minced meat - Substitute with textured vegetable protein (TVP): Rehydrate TVP in hot water or broth. It mimics the texture of minced meat and is a good vegetarian option.

• onion - Substitute with shallots: Shallots have a milder and sweeter flavor, making them a good alternative to onions.

• garlic - Substitute with garlic powder: Use ⅛ teaspoon of garlic powder for each clove of garlic. It provides a similar flavor without the need for mincing.

• soy sauce - Substitute with tamari: Tamari is a gluten-free alternative to soy sauce with a similar umami flavor.

• vegetable oil - Substitute with olive oil: Olive oil is a healthier alternative with a rich flavor that complements the dish.

• salt - Substitute with sea salt: Sea salt has a more complex flavor and can be used in the same quantity as regular salt.

• pepper - Substitute with white pepper: White pepper has a milder taste and a slightly different flavor profile, making it a good alternative.

• Allow the omelette to cool completely before storing. This prevents condensation, which can make the omelette soggy.
• Cut the omelette into individual portions. This makes it easier to reheat only what you need.
• Wrap each portion tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This helps to maintain freshness and prevent freezer burn.
• Place the wrapped portions in an airtight container or a zip-top freezer bag. Label with the date for easy tracking.
• Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

To reheat:

• For refrigerated portions, unwrap and place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on medium power for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.
• For frozen portions, thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave as described above, or reheat directly from frozen by microwaving on low power for 2-3 minutes, then on medium power until heated through.
• Alternatively, reheat in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until warmed through, flipping once to ensure even heating.
