It’s like a savory omelette soufflé hybrid. You’ll need a large frying pan with a tight fitting lid.
INGREDIENTS
- 12 eggs
- 1/2 cup water
- 5 dashes of fish sauce (more or less according to your preference)
- 2 green onions (optional)
- Vegetable oil
DIRECTIONS
- Whisk the eggs, water and fish sauce together (using long chopsticks or it’s not considered Asian, natch).
- Chop the green onion.
- Heat a large pan on medium high.
- Coat the surface and sides of the pan with oil.
- Pour the egg mixture in. You should hear it sizzling.
- Sprinkle the green onion over the eggs.
- Turn the heat down to medium and cover.
- Let it cook undisturbed for 10min.
- Uncover. Using a spatula or two, gently separate the omelette from the pan and flip it over. Cook for another minute. Serve immediately over rice.
This is what it looks like after it is flipped. It rises a bit, hence “soufflé”.
Mmmmm that looks like something served in a fancy restaurant!
Found fish sauce in the fridge and I’m making it right now.
Egg-based breakfast for dinner. It is my favorite. My best, most favorite though, is you invite a few (~100, and they’ll invite friends, so the guest list expands) folks, and there’s a holiday open house with kids and copious drinking, and snacking and drunken dancing. Then, though, to signal the end of a long day/evening, either I or one of our hired-for-the-occasion kitchen elves would prepare simple cheese omelets and scrambled eggs and toast and whatever. Cream puffs. The dog’s chicken strips.
I am a huge fan of this practice because I know these kinds of parties went on until 3 AM for centuries in England, culminating with a light late-night supper. Not for very many people, granted. But there’s no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
