Ingredients
Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Beat the eggs very foamy with a fork together with the fish sauce, lime juice and cornflour, until full of bubbles. Stir in the spring onion.
- Heat the oil in a wok or small pan over high heat until it's smoking hot.
- Pour the egg mixture into the middle of the hot oil from a height, in one go: it should puff up and go frilly immediately.
- Fry for about 1 minute, until the bottom is golden brown, then flip with two spatulas and fry the other side for 30-40 seconds.
- Drain, slide onto the rice and serve with sriracha.

Tips
- The oil needs to be very hot, otherwise the omelette will soak it up and turn greasy.
- You can also stir minced pork or tiny shrimp into the egg.
