    Variations

    • Experiment with the omelette flavour; try a blend of chicken and duck eggs.
    • Add milk to make the omelette creamier.
    • Use diced ham, minced meat or shrimp for a meatier omelette.
    • Add green chillies, chilli paste or sriracha for a spicy kick.

    • The best is to consume it the same day you prepare it.
    • It does not take much time to prepare, so prepare fresh whenever you want to eat an omelette.
    • Keep the leftovers in the fridge
    • Do not store it for over 24 hrs.

    Tips

    • Use a non-stick frying pan to make this omelette to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
    • Beat the egg mixture thoroughly for a smooth and fluffy texture.
    • Frying garlic is not mandatory, but it masks the raw flavour.
    • Butter provides a rich taste to the omelette, so better to add it.
    • Cook the eggs on low heat, as they take less time to cook.
    • Flip the egg mixture into the pan only when the bottom of the mixture turns slightly brown and cooked.
    • Use the rubber spatula to lift the omelette.

      While I was hesitant to try this due to the fish sauce, it was absolutely delicious! The fish sauce adds just a perfect flavor that you don't know you're missing in an omelette! I'll be making this again....and again!
