Ingredients

2 tablespoon boiling water

1/4 cup (55g) caster sugar

2 tablespoon white vinegar

1 birdseye chilli, finely chopped

3 garlic cloves (1 finely chopped, 2 finely sliced)

2 tablespoon fish sauce

6 eggs

1 bunch snake beans, trimmed, finely chopped

2 tablespoon peanut or rice bran oil

2 green onions (shallots), thinly sliced

3 cup steamed rice (from 1 cup raw), to serve

Method

1.To make a dipping sauce, stir to combine boiling water and 2 tbsp of sugar until dissolved. Stir in vinegar, chilli, chopped garlic and half of fish sauce. Set aside.

2.In a large bowl, beat eggs lightly. Stir in snake bean, eschalot, chopped coriander and remaining sugar and fish sauce.

3.Heat half of oil in a 22cm frying pan on medium. Cook half of sliced garlic for 10 secs, until starting to colour.

4.Pour in half of egg mixture, tilting pan to distribute evenly. Cook for 3 mins, until golden and set underneath.

5.Using an egg slice and fork, cut into quarters. Turn each quarter over and cook for another 1-2 mins, until golden.

6.Transfer to a warm plate. Repeat with remaining oil, garlic and egg mixture to make another omelette.

7.Scatter over green onion and extra coriander, if you like. Serve with rice and dipping sauce.

Buy snake beans that are crisp and bright. Store them in the crisper section of the fridge for up to three days.
