Thai Fluffy Omelette (Khai Jiao)

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp fish sauce
• a little cornstarch
• plenty of oil for frying
• (optional minced pork/spring onion)

Method

• Beat eggs with fish sauce until very frothy (a little cornstarch helps it puff)
• Heat plenty of oil until very hot
• Pour eggs into the centre they puff up immediately
• Fry until golden and crisp, flip, drain and serve over rice

How to Choose

Choose fresh eggs with clean, uncracked shells, a domed yolk and thick white (test: fresh eggs sink in water).

Chef's Secret

Secret: beat the eggs very frothy and use plenty of very hot oil so they puff dramatically; a few drops of lime or water make it even fluffier.
