Omlette With Vietnamese Salami - Lac Xung & Spring Onions

When my mother ran out of money she would whip this one up. No matter what, it always used to cheer my brother and I up. There is always a packet of Vietnamese Salami in the fridge in case of hunger emergencies. It has always been great as a midnight snack too as there was always a pot of rice on standby.

Ingredients

Vietnamese Salami
Eggs
Garlic
Spring Onions


Slice the salami into half centimetre pieces and fry in a pan without any oil on medium heat. The fat in the salami will come out with the heat. Then add the garlic.
Meanwhile, whisk the eggs. I use 2 per person.
Watch that the salami does not burn. Fry only about 2 - 3 mins
Add the eggs and chopped spring onions.
Turn
Turn again

(if you want, you can scramble it all up)

Serve With Rice
Season With Soy sauce at the table. The flavour of the salami fills the omlette so I don't usually add it.

The Aggs has dreams about this dish and I have given it to her since we were little children. It takes 5 mins and its the best comfort food. Now its more like a special treat.
I have not tried it with any other salami - let me know if that works.
