Cooking Notes

David

The omelet's fell apart around the slices of scallions when I attempted to flip them, even in a non-stick omelet pan. We ended up scrambling the egg mixture and serving it as a layered salad - noodles on the bottom, then scrambled eggs, then meat, cuke mathcsticks, and herbs. The flavors were great and our guests loved it, but the rolling thing was not happening.

Same here. Impossible to turn the egg mixture to an omelette wrap or anything that holds together. We served it as scrumbled eggs. Even if the presentation wasn't exciting, the taste was amazing.

Helen

I made 1/2 recipe. After reading previous notes, I decided to use 4 eggs instead of 3 to help hold everything together. That did the trick. It was hard to wrap the other ingredients into the 6 inch patties, so I served it open face like a tostada. Flavors were fabulous! Will make again.

I didn’t have rice noodles but I did have sheets of spring roll paper which held all of the ingredients together beautifully. I omitted the tamarind paste, red chile and mint (didn’t have any) and used fresh red bell pepper sticks and lettuce for extra crunch. The hoisin sauce is the star here. My whole family enjoyed and my 11yr old daughter requested a roll for her lunchbox for the following day. Winner!

I also just scrampled the egg and wrapped it all in a rice paper wrap like a fresh spring roll. Keeps it all together a little better anyway. I made it once with the coconut milk and once without and the eggs definitely cooked better without it. Not sure why?

After reading the comments I added an extra egg and a bit of flour to the mix, and the wraps worked well (not sure if those changes were needed since I didn't try it as written). They were prone to tearing in the middle when wrapped up, but it was probably due to overzealous filling. Flavors were fantastic!

This was great- Based on other reviews, I added a couple of table spoons of flour to eggs the stashed it in fridge for an hour before guests arrived. Low flame with a lid on helped set before flipping. They came out thin but not tough, and held together long enough for a fun albeit sloppy bite. Big brunch crowd pleaser - will definitely make again.

This was amazing, and tastes exactly like Mr. Bing. The wraps weren't so hard to make for me; they crack fairly easily, but keep the chives/cilantro to a low-moderate level and be very careful with your spatula easing them off the pan, and you can make it work.I subbed in the duck for small strips of chicken breast that I cooked myself, seasoned with cinnamon, chile powder, salt, and pepper, then soaked in a bit of some soy sauce and rice vinegar while I prepped the other ingredients.

This was a mess...too much tamarind for me, too sweet. It was an unsightly brown. A big fail.

Elisabeth Price

We have a diabetic in the family so I can't make crepes to fill. Instead I use this type of omelet and call it flourless crepe. I make each crepe separately, whipping one egg and a tablespoon of water in a copper bowl. I don't put in any flavouring that might make the mixture lumpy, so chop any herbs very very fine, or just put all flavourings in the filling. Then I fry up a 'crepe' in the omelet pan. I have no trouble with its breaking, and it rolls easily and is very suitable for this recipe.

Herbed Omelet Wraps With Rice Noodles and Duck Recipe (2024)

FAQs

Can you use duck eggs in an omelette? ›

A rich duck egg omelet makes for a great change of pace if you haven't had one. Duck eggs are bigger than chicken eggs, and the yolk is often two to three times larger, which means a richer omelet.

What is the secret in cooking an omelette? ›

Whisking air into the eggs is one secret to a fluffy omelet. Also, if you cook the omelet in a pan that's too large for the number of eggs used, it will naturally be flatter. On the other hand, you don't want to overload a small pan. This only increases the time needed to cook the eggs and can lead to a rubbery omelet.

Should I put milk in my eggs for an omelette? ›

Many people add either milk or cream to their omelettes in order to bulk them out and have a more substantial dish without the need to add an extra egg. While this does work, it's crucial not to go overboard or you'll end up with a mixture that's too loose.

Do you add milk or water to an omelette? ›

If you want a lighter (not lighter in calories) and fluffier omelette, you can add a splash of water to the eggs which will create steam as it cooks. Or if you want a richer omelette, you can add a splash of milk or cream.

Can you use duck eggs like regular eggs? ›

You can cook duck eggs just like chicken eggs and will find that they have a creamier, richer taste. Some people prefer them deviled or in omelets or quiches, as they have a stronger flavor than chicken eggs when eaten plain.

What is the best way to use duck eggs? ›

Use a duck's egg much as you would a hen's egg; fry it, poach it, boil it or scramble it, if you wish. There is more yolk to egg white in a duck's egg than the familiar chicken's egg, and the colour of a duck egg's yolk takes on a richer, reddish-orange hue when cooked making it all the more attractive on the plate.

Can duck eggs sit out like chicken eggs? ›

Freshly laid eggs can be left out at room temperature for at least a month before you need to start thinking about moving them into the fridge. We like to make sure we eat ours in under two weeks (because they tend to taste better) but so long as the egg is eaten within one month of it being laid you will be fine.

Can you eat duck eggs like regular eggs? ›

Duck eggs should not be eaten raw or lightly cooked. Only eat duck eggs that have been thoroughly cooked, until both the white and yolk are solid. A duck egg is heavier and larger than a hen's egg, and therefore needs more cooking time.
