12 asparagus spears -- * see note
2 carrots
2 green onions
1 tablespoon sweet and sour sauce
1 tablespoon pineapple juice -- or orange juice
1/2 teaspoon ginger root -- grated
4 eggs
2 tablespoons water

ingredients)
**Use toasted walnuts or almonds, chopped
In a large saucepan, cook asparagus, carrots and green
onions in a small amount of boiling, lightly salted water
for 7-9 minutes until crisp-tender; drain well. Meanwhile
for the sauce, stir together sweet-sour sauce, pineappple or
orange juice and grated ginger root (or 1/8 teaspoon ground
ginger) Set aside.
For omelets, combine eggs and water in a small bowl. Use
fork to beat until combined but not frothy. In an 8-10 inch
skillet with flared sides, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil until
a drop of water sizzles. Lift and tilt pan to coat all
sides of skillet. Add 1/2 cup of egg mixture and cook over
medium heat. As eggs set, run a spatula around the edge of
the skillet; lift eggs and let uncooked portion flow
underneath. When eggs are set but still shiny, transfer to
a warm plate, cover with plastic wrap. Repeat with

To assemble, spread some of the sauce onto each omelet.
Arrange steamed vegetables on one quarter of each omelet,
fanning vegetables to edge of omelets. Fold each omelet
over vegetables; fold again. Top with additional sauce and
sprinkle with nuts.
