Thai Omelet: A Quick and Flavorful Meal Ana De Armas, September 10, 2022December 20, 2023 Aromatic, quick, and bursting with flavor, a Thai Omelet, also known as ‘Khai Jiao’, is a culinary delight from the heart of Thailand. Unlike its far more demure western counterpart, the Thai Omelet is loud, proud, and unapologetically tasty. Its fluffy, crispy edges and soft, moist interior are a testament to the simple brilliance of Thai cuisine. In this article, we’ll walk you through how to create this quick and flavorful meal in your own kitchen, bringing a taste of Thailand to your dining table. Ingredients 3 large eggs 1 tablespoon fish sauce 1 teaspoon of sugar 2 cloves of garlic, minced 2 small green onions, chopped 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Thai chili flakes (optional) Cooking Steps Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with the fish sauce and sugar until well combined. Add the minced garlic and chopped green onions to the egg mixture, stirring to incorporate. If you like a bit of heat, you can also add some Thai chili flakes at this point. Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is very hot before adding the egg mixture. Pour the egg mixture into the hot oil and let it cook undisturbed until the edges are brown and crispy. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Flip the omelet over and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the other side is also brown and crispy. Once done, drain the omelet on paper towels to remove any excess oil before serving. In conclusion, a Thai Omelet is more than just quick and flavorful meal. It represents the ethos of Thai cuisine – simplicity, freshness, and a harmony of flavors. When preparing this dish, remember that the quality of your ingredients can make or break the final result. Always choose fresh eggs and produce, and don’t shy away from authentic Thai ingredients like fish sauce and chili flakes. These ingredients are what give the Thai Omelet its unique flavor profile. So, embrace the spirit of Thai cooking and whip up this delicious meal in your own kitchen. It’s a culinary journey you won’t regret. Recipe
