Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Crack eggs into a bowl, whisk with fish sauce and a pinch of salt until pale and frothy.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Add shallots, cook until golden and crispy at edges, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Remove to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    Add a bit more oil if needed, then pour in egg mixture. Let it set 1 minute, then gently push cooked edges toward center.

  5. Step 5

    When top is still slightly wet but edges are set, fold omelette in half. Slide onto a plate.

  6. Step 6

    Top with crispy shallots and cilantro. Drizzle chili paste and squeeze lime juice over the top.
