Thai-ish Omelette Rice step by step
- 1. Firstly we will start by crushing and mincing garlic and halving an onion and finely chopping then put those 2 into a bowl..
- 2. Now Peel and finely chop the carrot making sure they're roughly the same size as the onion then chop up the baby corn..
- 3. We've done the prep and now to start cooking! On a med/high heat pour your oil into a pan along with the onion and garlic and cook until onions are translucent..
- 4. Once the onions are translucent pour in the carrots, baby corn, frozen peas and the pepper and continue frying until peas are defrosted and heating up..
- 5. When the peas have defrosted put in the prawns and rice, break up the rice a bit as day-old rice with just come out as a solid mass..
- 6. After the rice has broken up a bit add the Oyster sauce and Ketchup and mix it all in until the rice has gone a red-ish brown colour and the fried rice is done pour into a dish and now it's time for the eggs..
- 7. In a med/high heat pan pour in some oil, add the eggs and move them around forming curds like a French omelette, that's what you do for a french omelette right? Now just as the omelette starts solidifying add some of the rice to one half of the omelette(unless you're making a massive omelette rice then use it all.) The runny bits of egg will mix with the rice making it rich and lovely..
- 8. Once the rice is in slowly fold over the omelette like a quesadilla then slowly tuck the egg into the omelette. Don't try to be a hero and flip it unless you're sure it can be done, I tried it in the video I made and absolutely fudged it up..
- 9. Once folded in and the omelette is browning put onto a plate pour ketchup on top and we're done!.
