Instructions
- [Authentic Recipe]
- Heat lard (or oil) on a griddle, and directly ladle a thin, round layer of special batter made of sweet potato flour, a little potato starch, and water (do not add any seafood).
- As the batter sets slightly, crack a fresh egg, break the yolk with a spatula, and spread over the batter.
- Top with greens like bok choy, cook until edges are crispy, then flip.
- Without seafood moisture, the batter finishes crispier and more fragrant than regular Oyster Omelet, while the center remains ultimately chewy.
- Plate and pour generously with the sweet and savory special sauce. Without seafood, the pure deliciousness of the sauce and batter stands out.
