Description

A quick and delightful Thai omelette featuring eggs, fish sauce, and customizable ingredients, perfect for any meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce (or soy sauce if vegetarian)
  • Neutral oil (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Beat the eggs in a medium bowl with the fish sauce until well combined and frothy.
  2. Heat about half an inch of oil in a wok or skillet and test with a small amount of egg mixture.
  3. Pour in the eggs and cook until the underside is browned (about 1-2 minutes), lifting edges to allow uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
  4. Flip the omelette and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Drain on paper towels and serve with jasmine rice.
  5. Add just enough oil to coat the bottom of a frying pan for pan-fried method and heat over medium-high.
  6. Pour in the egg mixture, push edges inward, and cook until edges set (about 1 minute), then flip and cook for another 10 seconds until just set.

Notes

For a fluffier texture, let eggs sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking.
