Ingredients
3 eggs
2 tbsp cencaluk
4 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
3 cili padi, minced (or more to taste)
2 tbsp cooking oil
1 lime, sliced in half
Directions
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat well. Add in the cencaluk, sliced shallots, and cili padi. Mix again to combine.
- In a medium wok or frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium flame. Once the oil begins to shimmer, pour in the egg mixture and let it cook, undisturbed, for about 3-5 minutes. Gently and quickly flip the mixture so the uncooked side is touching the bottom of the pan and fry until cooked through, about 2-3 minutes more.
- Slide the omelette onto a plate and squeeze lime over the top. Serve with hot rice.
