Technique to learn

High-Heat Thai Deep-Frying

Frying eggs in plenty of extremely hot oil instantly inflates air pockets, yielding crisp brown edges and a light souffle-like texture.

Instructions

Step 1: Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl, add the ground chicken, halal fish sauce, lime juice, cornstarch slurry, and scallions.
Step 2: Vigorously whisk the egg mixture with a fork for 2 minutes until aerated, foamy, and the minced chicken is evenly distributed.

Step 3: Heat 1 cup of vegetable oil in a small, deep wok or small deep skillet over high heat until smoking hot (around 180C / 350F).

Step 4: Pour the egg mixture from about 12 inches above the pan in a steady stream directly into the hot oil; it should puff up instantly.

Step 5: Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the bottom is deeply golden and crispy, then carefully flip using two spatulas and cook the other side for another 1 minute.

Step 6: Drain the omelette on a wire rack or paper towels for 30 seconds before serving hot with jasmine rice and sriracha.

Cooking tips

Pouring the egg mixture from high above aerates the batter as it hits the oil, creating signature airy layers.
Lime juice and cornstarch prevent the egg protein from drying out, keeping the center tender.
