Ingredients

Scale

4 large eggs, at room temperature
4 ounces ground pork
Fish sauce. Light soy sauce works fine as a substitute or as an additional flavor. You can also try using half fish sauce and half soy sauce.

Instructions

Whisk the eggs. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until the yolks and whites are well combined.
Make egg mixture. Add the ground pork, chopped green onions, shallot, fish sauce, and white pepper to the egg mixture. Mix thoroughly.
Heat the Oil. In a non-stick sauté pan, heat enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil reaches the right hot temperature but not smoking. Pour the egg mixture into the hot oil, making sure it spreads evenly across the pan.
Fry the Omelette. Let the omelette cook undisturbed until the edges turn golden brown and crisp. If your burner cooks the omelette too fast, reduce the temp to medium heat.
Flip and Finish. Carefully flip the omelette using a spatula to gently turn the side of the omelette over to cook the other side until it's also golden brown, and the center of the omelet is set.
Serve and Enjoy. Slide the Thai pork omelette onto a plate to remove excess oil. Use a paper towel to line a serving platter to help absorb excess oil.

Serve it hot with jasmine rice, lime wedges, and a side of sriracha sauce for a delightful meal.

Notes

Use a large bottom non-stick saute pan. The flat and large surface of a pan helps with the heat distribution of the eggs in making light and crispy fried edges.
A small saucepan will not work well for this recipe. Use at least a small 8-inch pan if a large skillet is unavailable. Cook your omelette in two batches if necessary.
Be cautious with the oil used; you want enough to fry the omelette. Using too much oil will also make it overly greasy.
A Thai pork omelette is perfect as a side dish, but it can also be served as a main course with a plate of rice.
