  1. Cook the long grain rice following the fried rice method (see recipe I posted for Fried White Rice) or following the instructions on the packet until just tender. Fluff rice with a fork so you don’t have any lumps. Set aside and leave at room temperature. You can also use left over white rice.

  2. For the thin omelettes: Lightly beat the eggs with a fork and season to taste. Chop fresh coriander to yield 2 teaspoons and add to the eggs. Heat 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a deep, wide non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add 1/3 of the eggs in a thin layer and cook for a few minutes, until set and golden. Remove from the pan, roll the omelette up and allow to cool. Make another 2 thin omelettes in the same way. When cool enough to handle, slice the rolled thin omelettes and set aside.
