🥕 Ingredients (serves 1)

Egg 2
Fish sauce 1 tsp
Green onion 1 stalk
Vegetable oil 3 tbsp (generous amount)
Cooked rice 1 bowl
Lime 1/4

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the fish sauce and green onion, and whisk vigorously to incorporate air.
Heat plenty of oil in a pan until very hot (just before smoking).
Pour in the egg mixture all at once — the edges will puff up and crisp immediately.
Flip after about 30 seconds, then cook 10 more seconds.
Place over the rice.
Serve with lime and chili sauce on the side.
