chilli eggs

- To make the fritters, place the carrot, cauliflower, kimchi, eggs, milk, flour and chia in a bowl and mix to combine.
- Heat 2 medium non-stick frying pans over medium heat. Add a little oil and 1 cupful of mixture into each pan. Spread the mixture thinly to cover the base of the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes each side or until golden. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more oil as necessary to make each fritter. Keep warm until ready to serve.
- To make the chilli eggs, return frying pans to medium heat and add a teaspoon of oil to each.
- Sprinkle each pan with chilli and ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add 1 egg, lightly whisked, to each pan and swirl to the edges. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until edges are crisp. Remove to a board and roll thinly. Repeat to make 4 chilli egg omelettes. Thinly slice omelettes.
