Today I am going to share a super simple childhood dish that my old ma always made for us, I am not sure if this is of Teoh Chew origin, or invented by my grandma, but it sure is one simple and delicious dish that our entire family likes.
This omelette has a chewy texture thanks to the presence of the glass noodle, which is actually a type of translucent noodle made of starch (green bean, yam or corn) and water. The original version only have glass noodles and eggs, I made some variation to make it more child friendly by adding some shredded carrots.
Hope your kiddos like this dish as much as my duo. :)

I served ours as dinner by tossing in some flat noodles in step 5. Took only about 1 minute for the noodles to cook so you can precook the soup and add the leafy veggie and noodle when it's time for dinner. I also added some pumpkin cubes and carrots into the soup for added nutrition and sweetness but they are really optional if you are in a rush.
Tips:
煎蛋冬粉汤, 这是小时候我最爱的家常菜。我也不确定这是否潮州菜式或当年婆婆的自创，但肯定的是家中老少都喜爱的一道菜。浓浓蛋香夹着質地韌柔的冬粉丝，添加点青菜肉丸，好吃的家常菜只需十五分钟就可轻松上桌。
冬粉一般是由绿豆制作，也有些使用淀粉或薯粉制作，我个人不主张长期给小孩吃。一来冬粉面条较不易消化，二来两岁以下的小孩咀嚼能力可能还欠佳，所以建议在过两岁以后才煮给小朋友吃。
Tips:
- When serving for my little ones, I cut the stems of the baby Choy Sam with a kitchen scissor so it's easier for them to chew.
- Personally I would not recommend serving glass noodle to toddler below 2yo, who may find it difficult to chew and may not be able to digest properly. Let's wait till they have stronger teeth and digestion system.

做法：
- 把冬粉浸在水里约两分钟至松软，捞起备用。
- 鸡蛋打散，加入盐，胡椒粉，酱油调味，和胡萝卜丝混合后倒入冬粉里。
- 烧热两汤匙的橄榄油，把蛋液和冬粉倒入锅里用慢火煎熟至金黄色。每面约莫两分钟左右。
- 在干净的案板上，把蛋饼切成10-12片方块。
- 烧热一锅高汤，汤滚后把蛋饼和小菜心放进锅里煮两分钟，熄火，撒上一撮青葱即可上桌。也可以加点面条和青菜一起煮，当清汤面来吃也不错。
趁热吃咯！
