Servings: 3 people
- 3 eggs
- ½ tablespoon fish sauce
- 3 dashes black pepper
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 100 g crab meat
In a bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Add the fish sauce and black pepper, then mix well.
Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over high heat until very hot. Pour in the egg mixture and cook until the eggs begin to bubble. Swirl the skillet to spread the eggs into an even layer.
Once the eggs are bubbly, evenly sprinkle the crab meat over the top.
Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Reduce the heat to medium if needed to prevent the omelette from browning too quickly.
Fold the omelette into a tube shape, then carefully flip it over and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until cooked through.
Transfer the crab omelette to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped scallions and serve immediately with Thai sriracha chili sauce.
