Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil (Or use any oil of your choice)
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 1-2 tsp fish sauce (nam pla)
  • 4 cups spinach (optional)
  • sriracha or hot sauce (optional)

Method
 

  1. Heat the oil in a small frying pan/skillet on high until just smoking
  2. While the oil is heating, crack the eggs in a small bowl
  3. Add the fish sauce
  4. Beat the eggs with a fork or a whisk
  5. When the oil is hot, pour in the egg mixture. It should bubble up and brown very quickly (30-45 seconds).
  6. Flip the omelet and brown the second side
  7. Transfer the omelet to a plate and add sriracha
  8. Saute the spinach in the residual oil left in the same pan for 1-2 minutes. Season as desired (I like garlic powder).
  9. Transfer to the plate and serve.
