Thai Omelette with Minced Pork and Rice
A thick, golden omelette enriched with savory pork mince and fish sauce, deep-fried rapidly so the edges become puffy and intensely crispy.
Ingredients
Quantities are for one portion.
- 1 tbspsriracha sauce
- 3 tbspvegetable oil (for deep-frying style)
- 10 gfresh cilantro
- 3eggs
- 100 gpork mince
- 70 gdry jasmine rice
- 1 tspfish sauce
Method
- Steam the jasmine rice in a small pot until soft. Keep warm.
- In a small pan, quick-fry the pork mince with a drop of water until fully cooked. Let it cool slightly.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs with the fish sauce until very frothy.
- Fold the cooked pork mince and half the fresh cilantro into the beaten eggs.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a wok over high heat until it just begins to smoke.
- Pour the egg mixture directly into the center of the oil. It will puff up dramatically. Fry until the bottom is dark golden, then flip to brown the other side.
- Drain the thick, crispy omelette briefly. Serve it over the warm jasmine rice, garnished with remaining cilantro and a side of sriracha.
