Method:

1. Heat half the oil and fry the onion, garlic, ham, water chestnuts and soy sauce until lightly browned. Remove them from the pan.

2. Heat the remaining oil, add the eggs and draw the egg into the centre as it begins to set so that the uncooked egg can run underneath.

3. When the egg is just set, spoon the ham mixture onto half the omelet, top with the cheese and fold over the other half of the omelet.

4. Cover and cook for 2 minutes then  turn and cook for a further 2 minutes until golden brown.
