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.
