Khai jiao (ไข่เจียว) is Thailand's ultimate comfort food: eggs whisked with fish sauce, then poured into very hot oil so they puff up into a golden, lacy omelette with crunchy edges and a soft centre.
It's eaten over jasmine rice with a squeeze of Thai sriracha sauce or a little prik nam pla, and it's what Thai people cook when there's nothing else in the fridge.
The secrets are lots of hot oil, a good whisk to get air in, and a splash of lime juice or a little rice flour for extra puff.
