Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

FOR THE OMELETTES
4 teaspoons cornflour
4 eggs
4 egg yolks
4 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
FOR THE FILLING
Sushi rice (see other recipe)
8 seasoned shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
8 coriander stalks, leaves removed
First make the omelettes. Dissolve the cornflour in a tablespoon of water. Add to a mixing bowl with all other ingredients except the oil. Mix well. Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat (wiping away any excess oil with kitchen paper) then thinly coat the base of the pan with egg mixture.
When the omelette begins to set, turn it over. Do not allow the omelette to crisp or overcook – it should remain golden yellow. Transfer to plate lined with kitchen paper.
To make the filling for the parcels, first mix sushi rice with shiitake mushrooms and sesame seeds. Trim the omelettes into 20cm squares. Spoon two tablespoons of rice stuffing into the centre of one of the squares. Position so that one corner faces you. Fold this lower corner over the filling to meet the top corner. Then fold in side corners to meet in the centre. Fold omelette over to the top corner so it forms a neat, rectangular parcel.
Tenderise a coriander stalk by running the back of knife along it, then tie it around parcel to hold it together.
