Long bean omelette

Whenever I run out of ideas on what to cook I always think of omelettes. It is easy to prepare and you can use anything that you have in the fridge or freezer. Today I am going to use long beans.

 Chewy and flavourful long beans, also known as Chinese snake beans, are closely related to black-eyed peas.

Fresh beans contain a good amount of vitamin C, vitamin A, minerals such as iron, copper, manganese, calcium, magnesium. It is also a good source of folates. Consuming an adequate amount of folate around conception and during pregnancy may help prevent neural-tube defects in the new-born.
