Khai Jiao Moo Sap (Thai egg omelette with ground pork)

Ingredients

2/4 cup ground pork or chicken or shrimp

3 eggs

2 tsp soy sauce

1 tsp white pepper or black pepper

a few cilantro, chopped

3-4 tbsp vegetable oil

Method

1. Crack eggs and mix it in with ground pork, soy sauce, pepper, and cilantro.  Whip with fork till the egg becomes foamy.

 

2. Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.   Ensure that oil is really hot.  You may test with a few drop of egg into the pan.  The egg should be sizzling and turn brown very quickly.  Once the oil is hot, pour the egg into the pan.  Spread the liquid egg over the pan and leave it undisturbed (about 1 minute or so).  Flip the egg when you notice browning along the edges (see picture).  Try to flip the egg without breaking it into pieces.   This may not be easy and require practice and the right spatula so don’t worry if you break it, just be sure that they are cooked through.  The egg should be brown on both sides.  You may press the egg with spatula to ensure even cooking

Tip: The trick is to ensure that there is sufficient oil on the pan and that oil is really hot.  As you can see from the above picture.  You will notice that the egg is almost floating on top of oil.
