Heat 1 tsp (5 mL) of the oil in a medium skillet. Stir the eggs with the chives. Pour one quarter of the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook, covered, for 2 to 3 minutes or until set. Turn out onto a plate. Repeat with remaining oil and eggs. Once cool enough to handle, stack the omelets and slice into thin strips.

Tips
To hydrate the rice vermicelli noodles; cover 2 oz (60 g) of dry noodles with boiling water and let soak for 5 minutes or until tender. Drain and rinse under cold running water until cool. Drain well.
Toss any leftover filling ingredients and sauce (except for the lettuce) to make a quick cold, noodle salad to pack serve for lunch the next day.
