For a “chai poh” omelette that packs some punch, try out this recipe for a taste of Singapore.

Ingredients

  • 250g Minced Beef
  • 100g Store-Bought Preserved Radish (Cai Poh)
  • A Few Stalks Of Spring Onion, thinly sliced
  • 6 Eggs

Marinate for the minced beef

  • 1/2 tbsp Light Soya Sauce 
  • 1/2 tbsp Oyster Sauce
  • 1/4 tsp White Pepper

Method

  1. Rinse chopped preserved radish (cai poh) and drain well.

  2. Heat up some cooking oil in a pan and stir fry preserved radish until crisp. Remove from the pan and keep that aside.

  3. Stir fry the marinated minced beef until fully cooked. Remove any extra liquid and oil from the beef mixture and set it aside.

  4. Crack six eggs and beat them until fluffy. 

  5. Add the crunchy preserved radish and minced beef into the egg mixture. Add a pinch of salt to balance flavours. 

  6. Heat up a pan over medium heat. Add a few tablespoons of cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, ladle the egg mixture gently into the pan, and allow it to set.

  7. Once the egg omelette is crisp at the edges (approximately two mins), flip it over. Cook for another minute and remove from the wok.

  8. Repeat until all the egg mixture is cooked and you have. Garnish with sliced chilli and cilantro.
