Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 2 stalks scallions
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 1 small red chili
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl and beat them lightly with a fork or whisk.
Add fish sauce, salt, and black pepper to the eggs and whisk well to combine.
Thinly slice the scallions, chop the cilantro, and finely dice the red chili. Add them to the egg mixture.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan, ensuring it is evenly spread out.
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set and the bottom is lightly golden brown.
Gently fold one side of the omelette over to form a semi-circle or leave it open-faced.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring the omelette is cooked through but still soft and tender.
Remove from heat and slide the omelette onto a plate. Serve hot with steamed rice or baguette slices.
