Easiest way to cook or easiest way to clean up? 😉
I learned how to make Thai Omelettes and that's now my favorite way...
In a large pan or wok, pour one cup of vegetable oil and heat it to boiling.
In a glass, crack 2 eggs, add a splash of water, a teaspoon of fish sauce, a teaspoon of lime juice and beat with a fork until combined.
Add a tablespoon of corn starch and mix well until there are no lumps.
When the oil is hot enough (water drops spatter when added) take the glass, hold it about a foot over the pan, and pour the egg mixture in.
What happens next is MAGIC!
It expands out into this giant flower of fried eggy goodness. It cooks fast, fast, fast. About 1 minute per side. Look for it to turn golden, flip it, golden again, and remove it.
Now, for clean up, it will have absorbed some, but not all, of the oil. If you find yourself cooking this a LOT (AND WHY WOULDN'T YOU?) you can keep using the same pan and oil, just keep topping it off.
