Ingredients
The quantities follow this count.
How to cook it
-
Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat vigorously for a full minute, until pale and slightly frothy; this is what gives the omelette its puffy edges.
-
Stir in the fish sauce and sliced scallions.
-
Heat the oil in a small skillet or wok over high heat until it shimmers and just starts to smoke.
-
Pour in the egg mixture all at once; it should sizzle loudly and puff up immediately at the edges.
-
Let it cook undisturbed until the bottom is deep golden and crisp, about 1 minute.
-
Flip carefully with a spatula and cook the other side until golden and puffed, about 1 minute more.
-
Lift onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain briefly.
-
Serve hot over the jasmine rice.
