Summary: Light and aerated, this is the simplest and the best chocolate mousse I have ever eaten, and the only chocolate mousse recipe I have been using for years. It is as easy to make as melting chocolate and whisking egg whites, yet it produces the most deliciously chocolatey chocolate mousse.
No added sugar, none of the fuss of using cream or milk, or the egg yolks.
Use 2 egg whites to 100g chocolate for a rich chocolate mousse, and 4 egg whites to 100g chocolate for a lighter mousse and a less intense chocolate flavour.
Make this when you have egg whites left from another recipe, or use the egg yolks to make custard, mayonnaise, ice cream, lemon curd, or another recipe.
You can make this using dark chocolate (anything from 60 to 80% cacao), milk chocolate or white chocolate. And for a creative and striking dessert, multiply the recipe quantities by 3 and alternate layers of dark, milk and white chocolate in tall and pretty glasses, topped with berries or fruits of your choice and cacao nibs.

Summary: These open omelette rolls were inspired by Vietnamese bank khoai, which are pancakes made with rice flour, soda water and turmeric, and filled with a variety of fillings usually including eggs, and other non vegetarian fillings.
To make them more protein based than carbs based, I leave out the rice flour altogether and beat the eggs like for an omelette, with some turmeric. To make them more similar to the traditional Vietnamese pancakes, just add a little rice flour. I serve them on a salad leaf, filled with cooked onions and protein-rich portobello mushrooms, cucumber and lots of fresh coriander.
Serves 4 as a starter or a snack, or 2 as a main.
Great with kids, as they enjoy assembling their own. Would also work a treat in a lunchbox or for a picnic, if you pack the salad, the omelette and the fillings separately until ready to eat.
