INGREDIENTS
1 each: Tin of Spam,
1 each: Tin of corned beef,
1 tbsp: Of fish sauce,
1 tbsp: Of sweet soy,
1 tbsp: Of prik phom, powdered red chili
1 tbsp: Of garlic,
1 tbsp: Of ginger,
1 tbsp: Of shallots,
1 tsp: Of red prik chi fa, jalapenas
1 tbsp: Of green prik chi fa,
Directions:
The title of this snack is my Sister-in-Laws idea of a joke in Thai
it means "an omelette made from expensive foreign food" the expensive
food in question being Spam and corned beef. These are, however,
grossly expensive in Thailand costing several dollars a can (this
meal would cost a laborer several days wages).
FOR THE OMELETTES:
3 duck eggs
3 teaspoons of fish sauce
METHOD: Take a medium tin of corned beef and break it up with a fork.
Take a similar sized tin of Spam, and cut it into small dice.
Combine. This should give you about a cup of meat. Add 1 tablespoon
of fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon of dark sweet soy, and stir in 1
tablespoon of prik phom (ground red chilies). Leave to marinade for
about an hour. Beat 3 duck eggs, with three teaspoons of fish sauce.
Now in a wok saute 1 tablespoon of garlic, 1 tablespoon of ground
ginger, and 1 tablespoon of shallots (purple onions). Add the
marinated meat, and stir fry until the meat begins to turn brown. Add
1 tablespoon of chopped red and 1 tablespoon of chopped green prik
chi fa (Thai jalapenos) Stir the meat mix, to amalgamate the
ingredients and if desired, add freshly cracked black pepper to
taste. In a 10-inch omelette pan, fry half the egg mix. When it is
set on the pan side, spoon half the meat mix neatly into the center
in a rectangular shape, and fold the edges of the omelette over the
meat to form a parcel. Flip it over and fry until sealed and the egg
is cooked through. Similarly cook the other half of the mixture. Cut
each omelette in two, and serve with other snack foods (such as pad
Thai, pad mi Korat, som tam). From: "Colonel I. F. K. Philpott"
