How to cook it
-
Thinly slice the shallots, chili, and scallions.
-
Beat the eggs well until slightly frothy, then stir in the shallots, chili, scallions, and salt.
-
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 so it sizzles loudly and puffs up at the edges.
-
Let it cook undisturbed until the bottom is deep golden and crisp, about 1 minute.
-
Flip carefully 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.
