Preserved radish omelet (Chai poh neng)

(Preserved radish omelet, 煎菜脯蛋)

Chai poh neng is a traditional omelet. The omelet is usually made with a combination of preserved radish (sweet, salted, or both), garlic, eggs, oil, scallions, and vegetable stock. The preserved radish is washed, rinsed, patted dry, and set aside.


The garlic is sautéed in oil until fragrant, and the radish is then added to the pan and stir-fried. The eggs are whisked with stock and scallions, and the mixture is poured into the pan over the radish. The omelet is cooked until the eggs set, and it's then cut into pieces and served while still warm.
