Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup crab meat
  • 1/2 tbsp golden mountain sauce (see notes)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • oil for deep-frying (as needed)
  • 1 tbsp coriander (optional, chopped, for topping)
  • 1 green onion (optional, chopped, for topping)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, crack the eggs and add golden mountain sauce. Whisk until fully combined. Be sure to beat the eggs well to introduce air, which helps create a fluffy omelette.

  2. 2

    Gently stir in the crab meat and garlic. Mix lightly to keep the meat intact.

  3. 3

    Heat a generous amount of oil over medium-high heat in a non-stick skillet or wok. You want enough oil to cover and deep-fry the omelette. Once the oil is hot, gently pour the egg and crab mixture into the center of the hot oil.

  4. 4

    For the Bangkok-style rolled omelette: Lift one side with a spatula and roll it towards the center, layer by layer, to create a thick, rolled shape. Cook until golden and crispy, then carefully lift the omelette out to drain on a paper towel.For a simpler approach: Just deep-fry the mixture as one large omelette without rolling, flipping once to cook evenly.

  5. 5

    To serve, garnish with freshly chopped coriander or green onions. Pair it with jasmine rice, a side of chili sauce, and a squeeze of lime juice, if you like.
