How it's used

Often found in local cha chaan teng menus, this dish is a classic example of Cantonese comfort food that relies on a mix of leftover ingredients. While the name suggests a delicate lotus flower, it is actually a hearty, thick omelet that is typically served with a savory gravy poured over the top. It is rarely cooked at home compared to simple scrambled eggs, making it a staple order when dining out at traditional eateries.
