Thai Shrimp Omelette
a classic of Thai cuisine that is eaten daily
Ingredients
For the omelette:
- 80 g of raw prawns (or more), cut into pieces
- 2 big eggs
- 1 small shallot thinly sliced
- 2 tsp of oyster sauce
- 1 tsp of fish sauce
For cooking:
- 2-3 dl frying oil
Instructions
- Beat the eggs in a bowl. Beat for a long time to incorporate plenty of air; there should be lots of bubbles on the surface. Add the rest of the ingredients and beat again.
- Heat the oil in a small, deep wok. The oil has to be VERY hot and the diameter of the wok or pan has to be small so that the omelette doesn't spread out too much.
- Pour the egg and prawn mixture into the oil. The omelette will bubble up.
- Cook for 2 minutes, then turn the omelette over.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Drain well and serve immediately.
