Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Crack eggs into a bowl, add fish sauce and a pinch of salt. Whisk until bubbles form on top.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Add shallot slices, cook until crispy and golden, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Pour egg mixture into the skillet, tilting to spread evenly. Let it set 30 seconds, then gently push cooked edges toward center.

  5. Step 5

    When the top is barely wet but the bottom is set, scatter crispy shallots and cilantro on one half.

  6. Step 6

    Fold omelette in half, slide onto a plate, drizzle with chili crisp, and squeeze lime juice over top. Serve immediately.
