My favorite kind of food; cheap, easy and delicious. I wish I’d known about Thai omelette when I was a poor college student, surviving on ramen and boxed mashed potatoes.

Ingredients
3 eggs
1 tsp soy sauce (or fish sauce, if not vegetarian)
dash white pepper
light oil for deep frying
wok
sriracha

for dipping sauce
soy sauce (or fish sauce)
squeeze of fresh lime juice
1 red chili, sliced
1 green chili, sliced
quarter of white onion, diced

1) Heat up enough oil for deep frying the eggs, about a couple cm deep in the wok
2) whisk the eggs with soy sauce and white pepper, thoroughly, until there are no lumps of egg white. Traditionally this is made with fish sauce, but soy sauce is a tasty alternative for us veggies.
3) Test that the oil is hot enough by dropping a bit of egg into it. If it immediately fries and curls, the oil is ready.
4) Have a plate with paper towel nearby.
5) Pour the eggs into the hot oil. The eggs should immediately puff up and bubble up in the oil, like a giant souffle. Fry on one side until the bottom of the egg is golden brown, about a minute or less. Carefully flip using two spatulas, mindful not to splatter hot oil on yourself. Cook the other side and then lift the omelette out of the wok and drain on the paper towel. The omelette will be savory, soft and crispy on the edges.

Serve with sriracha and hot jasmine rice or eat on its own with dipping sauce. Surprisingly scrumptious for such a simple meal!

This is a versatile and quick thing to do with some bored and lonely sweet potatoes. Eat on its own, with a fried egg, or serve on top of wild rice with greek yogurt and salsa.

Serves two
3 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
1 small white onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 chili, deseeded and chopped
handful of mixed peppers, red, green, orange, diced
olive oil
fresh sea salt and cracked black pepper
1-2 tsp ancho chili powder

1) If making rice, start it before the prep work. Wild and brown rice takes longer than white rice to cook. I used wild rice cooked in vegetable broth and it took about 35-40 minutes. Mix in a knob of butter and a dash of soy sauce for a little extra flavor.

2) Heat up olive oil in a heavy-bottomed frying pan and cook the onion, chili, peppers and garlic on a med-high heat. Almost like a flash fry to give them some color. Stir constantly so they don’t burn.

3) When just beginning to brown, add in the diced sweet potatoes, the seasoning and keep frying on a high heat. The sweet potatoes should keep everything from burning but stir frequently just in case. After a few minutes, cover with a lid, turn the heat down and finish cooking the veggies on a low heat.

4) Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or ancho chili powder. They shouldn’t taste spicy, but just a little sweet and smoky. The hash is done when the sweet potatoes are tender.
