Ingredients
Instructions
Wash the mung bean sprouts and cook over low heat with a little water. Cover and cook for 3 minutes.
Wash the vegetables well. Cut off the ends of the green beans and peel and cut the carrots into thin sticks.
Place the carrots and green beans in a pot of boiling water and boil for 6 minutes. With 30 seconds left, add the spinach.
Drain the tofu and dice. Separately, beat the egg with a little salt. Set aside.
Place a pan over medium heat. Once heated, pour in the oil, spread and add the beaten egg.
Cook for 2 minutes or until the bottom is set, flip and cook for 1 more minute. Once the omelet is done, cut into strips.
For the dressing: Mix lemon juice, soy sauce and stevia or the sweetener of your choice.
Place all the ingredients in a salad bowl and pour the dressing. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and mix.
