Ingredients

• 150 grams large prawns, peeled and deveined
• 4 large eggs
• 2 stalks spring onions, finely chopped
• 1 small red chili, finely chopped (optional)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the prawns under cold water, pat them dry with a paper towel, and chop them into small, bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them thoroughly. Add the soy sauce, fish sauce, salt, and black pepper to the eggs and whisk until fully combined.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped prawns to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove the prawns from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and allow it to heat up over medium heat.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture into the pan, spreading it out evenly. Allow the eggs to cook for about 1 minute or until they begin to set at the edges.

Step 7

Sprinkle the cooked prawns, spring onions, red chili (if using), and chopped coriander evenly over one side of the omelet.

Step 8

Use a spatula to gently fold the other side of the omelet over the filling. Press down lightly to seal.

Step 9

Cook the omelet for another 1-2 minutes, then carefully flip it to ensure both sides are golden brown.

Step 10

Slide the omelet onto a plate and cut it into halves or quarters. Serve hot, garnished with extra coriander or chili if desired.
