Ingredients

4 large eggs
2 tsp fish sauce
1 tsp soy sauce (gluten-free tamari)
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
1/4 cup neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
2 cups cooked jasmine rice
as needed sriracha sauce
2 green onion, thinly sliced

Instructions

1

Crack 4 large eggs into a bowl. Add 2 tsp fish sauce, 1 tsp soy sauce (gluten-free tamari), and 1/4 tsp ground white pepper. Beat vigorously with a fork until very well combined and slightly foamy.
2

Heat 1/4 cup neutral oil (vegetable or canola) in a small wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering hot - the oil should be nearly smoking.
3

Pour the egg mixture into the center of the oil. It should puff up and sizzle dramatically. Use a spatula to fold the edges inward if needed to form an oval shape. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes until the bottom and edges are deep golden and crispy but the top is just set.
4

Slide the omelette onto a mound of 2 cups cooked jasmine rice. Garnish with thinly sliced green onion and serve with sriracha sauce on the side.

Questions

How long does Khai Jeaw Thai Omelette keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat uncovered in a 400 F oven (or an air fryer) for a few minutes to bring the crust back; the microwave softens it.

Can I halve or double Khai Jeaw Thai Omelette?

Yes. As written it serves 2. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
