====== Khai Jiao (Thai Omelet) ====== ---- ===== Ingredients: ===== * 2 large eggs * 1/2 tsp lime juice or vinegar * 1 tsp Thai fish sauce * 1 Tb water * 1 Tb rice flour or cornstarch * 3/4 to 1 cup vegetable oil * Jasmine rice * Sriracha sauce (optional) ===== Directions: ===== - Combine eggs, lime juice / vinegar, fish sauce, water, and rice flour / cornstarch in a medium bowl. Beat with a fork until frothy. If the flour forms a few lumps, break up as many as possible with your fingers. - Heat the vegetable oil in a small pot or round-bottom wok set over medium-high heat until lightly smoking. Hold the egg bowl about 1 ft. above the pan and pour the egg mixture into the oil in one go. - The egg mixture will immediately puff up. Do not disturb it. After 20 sec., flip the omelet. There's no need to keep it nice and round; we want asymmetrical edges. Let the other side cook for another 20 sec. Remove the omelet from the pan and serve over steamed jasmine rice immediately.
