Asparagus Omelet (Khai Jiew)

We have a Thai version of omelet - it's called Khai Jiew (Khai = egg, Jiew = pan fry). We don't fold it in half and fill it with all kinds of things like Western omelet. We beat all the ingredients together - whatever you wish to put - and fry it in hot hot hot oil so that we get crisp edges of fried eggs with fluffy center.

The smell of fried eggs with fish sauce in the air brings back memory from my childhood - reminds me of the kitchen where I got all my food up until I was 6 years old. Make me homesick somehow. Maybe it's the rain...
