Thai spicy ham omelette

While French omelettes are supposed to be light-brown and soft and creamy, Thai omelettes are supposed to be fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside hence lots of hot oil.

Ingredients

1 tsp	Lime juice
1 Tbsp	Fish sauce
1 Tbsp	Cornflour
1 Tbsp	Water
3	Eggs, lightly beaten (Main)
1 Tbsp	Chopped fresh coriander, plus extra for garnish
½ tsp	Red chillies, finely chopped
40 g	Champagne ham, diced (Main)
1 pinch	Salt
¼ cup	Canola oil
1 serving	Sriracha sauce, to serve

Directions

1. In a small bowl combine the lime juice, fish sauce, cornflour and water. Using a fork mix together then add to the lightly beaten eggs with the coriander, chilli, diced ham and a pinch of salt.
2. Heat the canola oil in an omelette pan on a medium – high heat until lightly smoking then immediately and carefully pour in the omelette mix. Do not disturb until lightly browned then flip and cook the other side. About 1 – 2 minutes. Drain off any excess oil.
3. Garnish with the extra coriander and serve with Sriracha sauce
