In a small saucepan, mix all the ingredients for the sauce except the cornstarch. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and about 1/4 cup warm water, then whisk into the saucepan. Bring to a bubble over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low. Simmer until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld, about 10 minutes. 

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, soy sauce, and 1 tbsp. sesame oil. Stir in the bean sprouts, water chestnuts, scallions, snow peas, and chile. 

In a small nonstick skillet, heat 1 tbsp. peanut oil, one turn of the pan, over medium-high. Add a quarter of the eggs (about 1 cup). Cover and cook until the omelet puffs up and the bottom is browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the omelet over and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes more. Slide the omelet onto a plate. Repeat with more peanut oil and the remaining eggs. 

Serve the omelets topped with the sauce.
