INGREDIENTS
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons tapioca flour/starch
- 2 tablespoons rice flour
- ¾ cup water
- 4 eggs
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoon fish sauce
- 8 fresh oysters
- 2 sprigs of cilantro (or spring onion)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in the griddle or a flat frying pan to high heat. Mix the flours with water. Pour flour mixture into the pan. Cook for about 30 seconds to let some crust form on the underside.
- Break four eggs over the flour mixture. Spread the eggs without breaking the flour ‘pancake’ underneath. Using the edge of a spatula, divide the mixture into 3 or four pieces, and turnover each piece separately. Cook until the egg is slightly crispy – about 30 seconds.
- Make space in the center of cooking surface by pushing aside the omelet. Pour 1 tablespoon of oil, then the garlic. Add the oysters. Cook for about 20 seconds. Pour the fish sauce. Then break-up the omelet and mix with the oysters. Serve immediately with cilantro/spring onion and sambal (chili sauce)*.
How to make Sambal Chili Sauce
INGREDIENTS
- 8 small chopped red onions
- 8 fresh chilies sliced, remove seeds for a milder sambal
- 5 cloves sliced garlic
- 1 stalk lemongrass thinly sliced (use only the bottom 3 inches of the stalk – this is the most fragrant part of lemongrass)
- 1⁄2 ounce tamarind (soak in a cup of water and pour the tamarind juice through a strainer before use, to avoid chunks and granular particles)
- 10 dried chilies (soak in hot water for 5 minutes)
- 2 tsp turmeric powder
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt, or to taste
- 8 tsp oil
INSTRUCTIONS
- Blend onions, chilies, garlic, lemongrass, tamarind and dried chilies into a paste. Add 3 tsp oil to ensure it blends to a smooth paste.
- Add 5 tsp oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot, add the paste and sauté until aromatic. Tip: Always keep the flame on a low. Sauté for about 13-17 minutes, constantly stirring the paste.
- Add tamarind paste, salt and sugar.
- Cook till the oil separates from the pan and floats to the top.
