I can’t remember where I first learned this, but it’s called a Thai Omelete and I’ve been making eggs like this for years now:

Take 2 eggs and crack them into a glass. Add a teaspoon of fish sauce, a teaspoon of lime juice, a tablespoon of corn starch, and a little squirt of water.

Scramble it up with a fork until it’s nice and uniform with no lumps from the corn starch.

Put 1 cup of oil in a wok or other large pan. Get it nice and hot to where a drop of water spits at you. Shimmering, not smoking.

Hold the glass about a foot over the pan and pour the egg in. It will flower out into this giant, fluffy, egg concoction that could easily fill a dinner plate.

It cooks FAST, FAST, FAST, so be ready to flip it after a minute or so so it doesn’t burn.

You’ll end up with something like this:

    Looks amazing. Flavors definitely I like. But I’m gonna have to try this one. My first instinct is too much fried for me. I love a fried egg, but not too fried, lol. Definitely gonna give it a go though. Thanks for sharing!

      It’s so fast and easy. Just be sure to drain it on paper towels to get the oil out.

      The outside will be crispy, the inside will be fluffy. It’s super good!
