Description

A crispy and fluffy Thai omelet served with fresh vegetables, herbs, and a tangy lime dressing for a refreshing twist on a classic Thai comfort food.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • 1 cup steamed jasmine rice (for serving)
  • 2 tablespoons Thai sriracha (for serving)
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1 small cucumber, julienned
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ small carrot, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons roasted peanuts, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 1 fresh red chili, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add the canola oil to a pan and heat over high until very hot.
  2. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the fish sauce, and whisk vigorously for one minute until bubbles form on top.
  3. Test the oil by dropping a small bit of egg mixture into the pan. If it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the hot oil in one motion. Allow it to puff up and bubble around the edges.
  5. Move the mixture slightly so uncooked egg touches the hot oil, creating a fluffy texture.
  6. When the omelet turns golden brown, flip and cook the other side until evenly golden.
  7. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels to reduce excess oil.
  8. Prepare the salad by combining cucumber, red onion, carrot, tomatoes, and cilantro in a bowl.
  9. Whisk lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and chili to make the dressing.
  10. Slice the omelet into strips, toss with the vegetables, drizzle with dressing, and garnish with crushed peanuts.
  11. Serve immediately with jasmine rice and Thai sriracha on the side.

Notes

  • Ensure the oil is very hot before adding the egg mixture to create a crisp, airy omelet.
  • Aggressively beating the eggs helps achieve a fluffy texture.
  • Add the dressing just before serving to avoid sogginess.
  • Adjust chili quantity for preferred spice level.
  • Best served fresh and warm for optimal texture and flavor.
