Omelette, one of few menu that I can cook it easily, and why is it one of my go-to? : EvolGarlic's Chew 30 session 2.

Hi EvolGarlic here, and welcome to this week's newsletter, sending straight to your email and the Substack app from your truly EvolGarlic:

When I was a young child (but taller than most of my kindergarten classmates, so tall, I could walk in the swimming pool.) a lot of food, milk, and snacks me to grow, ranging from powdered milk, ice cream (which I go for the chocolate one most of the time) and all the food that my parent cooks for feeding everyone, but one particular ingredient was stuck with me the most, the one that I still love it to this day: Eggs.

From scrambled eggs to boiled eggs mixed with fish sauce, eggs are easy to cook and quick to do, and the taste is iconic, so iconic, I am falling in love with it.

When I was growing up to the "High School" level, my love for eggs remained so much, that I started to cook them myself, ranging from the scrambled eggs which are the easy to do menu since it is just a scrambled egg in the hot pan with little oil and the fish sauce, it is a quick and easy meal to do, although most of the time I either get it too salty or too oily, or the boiled eggs, which are also easy as well, just boil the eggs in the pot, peel the shells and enjoy it with the fish sauce and scramble it together, or the basic sunny side up egg, which is also the easy thing I can make, it basically egg fried in the really hot oil, but the medium rare yolk (or rare if you love it) drizzled in the fish sauce is the goodness in the plate.

Or the hard menu of Steamed eggs, which, if you make it right, this menu is one of the most delicious things to ever cook by your own hands, but if you do it wrong, it will be dull Steamed eggs with the hard surface in the bowl, no fluffy goodness.

But the one menu of eggs that I can do every time if the meal is not right for your appetites, it is easy to do, satisfying to cook, and it can be enjoyed with many meals that you don't like: an omelet.

Yes, one of Thailand's easy foods is the omelet, easy to cook, and tasty as well, and it is overall the go-to menu to eat with the food you don't want to eat alone like a spicy papaya salad (Som Tam)

This menu is one of the few menus that I can cook myself, and it was my go-to choice when the food at dinner does not match my taste buds, this dish goes well with anything.

So here's how I do it :

First, I get my bowl and the two eggs (you can select how many you like, but two will do just fine) crack that goodness in the oval shape into the bowl.

Then, after the eggs are in the bowl, I grab the fork and whisk it away till the york becomes a bigger yolk that has been fused with the white egg.

Then I put the seasoning in the bowl, the basic of our family omelet is just fish sauce and MSG, but in the photo, I only pour in the fish sauce, after the seasoning, whisk it again to fuse the seasoning and the egg (I forgot the msg because I am busying holding my smartphone camera, or maybe I am forgetful?)

Meanwhile, at the gas stove, I prepare the instrument that will be cooking this magic quick meal, by placing a pan in the stove that activated, pouring in the oil, in this case, the oil that is used for frying food called Palm Oil, this part is crucial in the whole process of making the omelet, as too much oil will make the dish too greasy, while too little oil will give the dish the opposite of greasy: burned (although this one I make is a little more into greasy)

After the pan has been heated till the pan is smoking (very hot), pour the eggs into the center of the pan where the boiling oil is boiling, ready to fry anything that the chef (me) throws at it.

Another crucial point of making this is the way you spread out the center of the eggs; the more you expand, the more length the omelet will be, but if you prefer the thick one, keep it less expanded.

Once flipping the other side of the omelet to cook to the other side, I see the golden goodness in the pan, and after cooking it till the omelet becomes the way I like, I turn off my stove and drain the oil out of the omelet as much as possible, the dish that I will be eating with the Stir-fried Chinese Kale with Canned Fish was done.

After I sat in and started the eating sessions, many 30 chews or less, I found out about the unbelievable things that I didn't expect and forgot to put in :

First, the omelet was a little bit greasy; despite draining it out at my best, it was still greasy.

Second, the taste is salty, but too little; as I mentioned before, I forgot the MSG, the key to the more delicious omelet.

Third, it is going well with the Stir-fried Chinese Kale with Canned Fish; despite the greasy and salty, it is somewhat going well with the dish that I can't eat alone without the side dish.

Two bowls of rice later, I was full, and my dinner was done, of course, the taste was not perfect as I wished, but that's a part of doing right, it will take many times to cook this dish right until it is perfect, of course, no one born in the hospital and will singing Elvis perfectly.

I have to say that this one omelet was another stepping stone in my cooking skills; of course, it's just a small step, but one day, maybe one day, I will finally cook the omelet that will satisfy me.

Do you have a certain menu that you can make it easy if you can't think about what to eat? Share it with me and others.

Until then, hoping that my brain will not forget the ingredients again, and see you next session for EvolGarlic's Chew 30 article series! (This is the first time I have typed a How-To style article on the food subject, sorry for the gibberish, please do send me fish oil to improve my brain)
