Thai-Style Omelet (Kai Jeow) Recipe

Hey guys, today I'm going to write about one of the easiest and most unexpensive dishes that you can prepare when you're starving. You know, there are times when you really want to eat but you don't really know what to cook or you're too lazy to spend hours cooking in your kitchen.

Don't worry !I've got the solution for you. It lies in two words : Kai Jeow.

Even if you don't have any notions of Thai or cooking, it doesn't matter at all. Basically, Kai Jeow is a type of omelet that is very commonly prepared in Thailand. This Thai Style Omelet is served with hot rice ...and that's it. Simply delicious ! You won't be disappointed !

Let's get started.

Ingredients :

–     2 eggs/1 person

–      fish sauce

–      some sugar (to make it crispy)

–       vegetable oil

Preparation :

1)   In a bowl, blend the eggs. Add fish sauce (1 tbspn) and sugar (1 pinch). Whisk until the mixture gets homogeneous.

2)    Heat the oil in the pan until the oil boils.

3)     Pour the mixture into the hot oil.

4)      Once the omelet gets puffy enough and slightly brown (generally after 30 seconds or 1 mn), gently flip it and wait for the same amount of time as before.

5)      It's done. You can now serve it on hot rice.

6)     If you like it, you can eat this omelet with some tomato sauce.

Tips for a tastier preparation :

1)      The eggs shouldn't be kept in the fridge before cooking them.

2)       To efficiently make the omelet crispy, make sure that the oil is very hot and boiling (wait until you can notice some kind of hot 'smoke' coming from the oil)

3)      You can make your omelet crispier and more appetizing by pourring the eggs through a long-handled strainer.

4)       Add the vegetables you like (coriander, parsley...)

5)        If you like onion or garlic, chop them and put them in the mixture, directly in the bowl before cooking it.
