Thai Omelette

Thai Omelette (Kai Jeaw)

Print Recipe
Some nights, you just need a quick, no-fuss meal that feels like a warm hug. For me, that's Thai Omelette or Kai Jeaw. It’s my go-to “good for the girls” kind of dish when I’m too tired to think, let alone order DoorDash. Ready in under 10 minutes, it’s packed with protein, crispy around the edges, and delicious!

Equipment

  • 1 skillet (non-stick is best)

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp fish sauce
  • ¼ tsp ground pepper (black or white but preferably white)
  • ½ tbsp water
  • 2-3 tbsp oil
  • 1 tbsp herb of choice (such as green onion, cilantro, or basil. I use holy basil.)

Instructions

  • Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl.
  • Add fish sauce and ground pepper to the eggs.
  • Pour in the water and beat the mixture until well combined and most of the egg whites are fully incorporated with the yolks.
  • Heat oil in a small nonstick or well-seasoned skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  • Pour the beaten egg mixture into the pan. Sprinkle the herbs over the top.
  • Let the omelette fry undisturbed until the edges are crispy and golden.
  • Carefully flip the omelette and immediately turn off the heat.
  • Let it sit in the hot pan for another 1–2 minutes to finish cooking through.
  • Serve hot with jasmine rice and, if desired, Thai condiments like Sriracha, Prik Nam Pla, or Nam Prik Kapi.
