Khai Jiao

Thai crispy omelet over rice with sriracha – on the table in five minutes.

Ingredients · for 2 servings

• 4 eggs
• 1 tbsp fish sauce (soy sauce as a substitute)
• 1 tsp lime juice
• 2 spring onions
• 150 ml oil
• 300 g jasmine rice
• Sriracha sauce, to serve

Instructions

1. Cook the rice. Beat the eggs with the fish sauce and lime juice until very frothy – the air makes the omelet fluffy and crisp.
2. Stir in the spring onion rings.
3. Heat the oil in a small wok until it lightly smokes.
4. Pour in the egg mixture from a little height – it puffs up immediately and turns crispy at the edges.
5. After 1–2 min, flip and fry until golden; drain on paper towels.
6. Lay over hot rice and serve with sriracha – Thai fast food in its purest form.
