  • 1.5 teaspoons fish sauce (Nuoc Mam)
  • 2 stalks scallions , thinly sliced
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 small shallot , finely minced

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk vigorously until the whites and yolks are fully emulsified.
  • Incorporate the fish sauce, sliced scallions, and black pepper into the egg mixture.
  • Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
  • Add the minced shallots to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant and translucent.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, allowing the bottom to set for 15-20 seconds.
  • Using a spatula, gently fold and move the eggs from the edges toward the center to create large, soft curds.
  • Continue cooking until the eggs are just set but still slightly moist to the touch.
  • Transfer immediately to a serving plate to prevent carry-over cooking.
