Ingredients

• 6 pieces large eggs
• 250 grams ground pork (or chicken/beef)
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 1 small carrot, finely diced
• 1 medium tomato, finely diced
• 50 grams green peas or corn
• 2 teaspoons fish sauce
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons ground white pepper
• 2 stalks scallions, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until frothy and set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground pork (or your choice of ground meat) to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until fully browned and no longer pink.

Step 4

Add diced onion, carrot, tomato, and peas (or corn) to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

Step 5

Season the filling with fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, and ground white pepper. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the filling mixture from the heat and mix in the chopped scallions. Set aside.

Step 6

In a separate non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of cooking oil over medium-low heat. Pour in just enough of the beaten eggs to coat the skillet thinly and evenly.

Step 7

Cook the omelet for 1-2 minutes, or until set but not browned. Carefully slide the omelet onto a plate or clean surface.

Step 8

Spoon a portion of the filling onto one side of the omelet. Fold the other side over to create a half-moon shape.

Step 9

Repeat the process with the remaining egg mixture and filling until all four omelets are made.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve warm with rice or as a standalone dish.
