Creamy Thai Omelette with Lump Crab Meat
by Pharkin Thai Street Food (MRT Ladphrao Station)
The traditional Thai omelette, called "khai jiao", is one of my favorite quick and easy go-to street food dishes. It's typically made with minced pork, fried in oil until the edges are crispy, and served over rice often with a side of ketchup.
Khao khai kon is a different type of Thai omelette. Instead of being fried to be crispy with a whispy edge, the khao khai kon, sometimes called a "creamy omelette", is cooked lower, slower, and more gently, leading to a soft blanked of eggs that are more like a very soft scramble than an omelette. The eggs are gently draped over a large scoop of rice.

I ordered a creamy omelette with lump crab meat for lunch the other day. Because it came with crab meat, at 135 baht it was much more expensive than a typical Thai omelette. However, I was glad to pay a little extra for such a rich and delicious meal! The omelette and crab meat together could be a bit too rich, but an added splash of bright green Thai seafood sauce cut through the richness with a tangy, spicy, sour kick.
