  2. In a small bowl, mix the kecap manis, soy and lime juice, then set aside.
  3. Beat the eggs lightly with 2 tablespoons of water.
  4. Heat the wok over high heat. Add one tablespoon of oil, then add the egg and swirl around the wok to make a thin omelette. When just set, carefully remove from wok to a clean chopping board. Roll up and slice.
