This Thai Style Omelette is a quick and flavorful dish featuring fluffy eggs infused with fish sauce and lemon juice. The omelette is deep-fried to a golden crisp, offering a deliciously light and airy texture. Perfect as a savory breakfast or a tasty accompaniment to steamed rice, this recipe comes together in just 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Omelette Mixture

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp water
  • 1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp fish sauce
  • 1/2 tsp sugar

For Frying

  • 1 to 1.5 cups neutral oil (such as vegetable or canola oil)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, combine the eggs, water, cornstarch, lemon juice, fish sauce, and sugar. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is slightly frothy.
  2. Heat the Oil: Pour the neutral oil into a deep pot or wok and heat it over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough for frying; this usually means the oil should shimmer and a small drop of egg mixture sizzles immediately when added.
  3. Fry the Omelette: Carefully pour the egg mixture into the hot oil from about one foot above the pot in one steady stream. Optionally, you may gently stir the center surface in small circles for 5-10 seconds to help spread the eggs evenly. Allow the omelette to puff up and cook undisturbed until the underside is golden brown.
  4. Flip the Omelette: Using two spatulas, carefully flip the omelette to cook the other side until it also turns golden brown and the egg is fully cooked through.
  5. Drain and Serve: Transfer the omelette to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately, ideally with steamed white rice, and enjoy this crispy, airy Thai classic.

Notes

  • Be cautious when adding the egg mixture to hot oil to prevent splashing.
  • Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preference, particularly the fish sauce and lemon juice levels.
  • The amount of oil is important for deep frying; do not skimp to ensure the omelette puffs up properly.
  • Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
  • This omelette is best enjoyed immediately while still crispy.
