Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Pour boiling water over the bean sprouts in a bowl. Leave for 1 min until slightly wilted, then drain. Set aside with the chopped cucumber.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a small pan over medium heat. Fry the sliced garlic and chilies until fragrant and just golden, 1-2 min.

3. 3

   Pound the garlic, chilies and peanuts in a mortar to a coarse paste.

4. 4

   Stir the paste with the petis, kecap manis and 1 tbsp of water in a small bowl to make a thick sauce.

5. 5

   Whisk the flour into the 50 ml (3 tbsp) water until smooth. Beat the eggs in a large bowl, then add the flour mixture, crushed garlic and salt.

6. 6

   Fold in the tofu and chives and divide into 5 portions.

7. 7

   Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat and brush with a little of the remaining oil. Pour in one portion and spread it into a round about 12 cm (5 in) wide.

8. 8

   Cook until the underside is golden and the top has set, 2-3 min. Flip and cook the other side until the egg is firm all the way through, 2 min.

9. 9

   Slide onto a plate and repeat with the rest, oiling the pan between omelets.

10. 10

    Serve warm, cut into wedges, with the bean sprouts and cucumber alongside and the sauce spooned over.
