*Omelette of pork mince, preserved radish and spring onion (Trúʼng chiên thit băm)

from Secrets of the Red Lantern: Stories and Recipes from the Heart (page 59)by Pauline Nguyen and Luke Nguyen and Mark Jensen

  • spring onions
  • minced pork
  • red onions
  • Thai salted preserved radishes
  • eggs
  • fish sauce

Served with white rice, fish sauce and fresh chilli. I added coriander and spring onions as a garnish like the photo in the book.

Note sure why this omelette uses black pepper corns. (Black pepper turns eggs grey, hence one normally uses white pepper). I followed the recipe and used black pepper.

Mrs B: “Flavours delicious. No need for the rice for me. Preceded by snake beans which were outstanding.”
