Super easy and quick Asian omelette with prawns and chili jam. It’s slightly spicy and will keep you full for the rest of the afternoon. Also suitable as a light dinner meal.

Asian omelette

This easy Asian omelette is perfect for light dinner or lunch. I love eating it for lunch usually but it depends if I’m working from home or not. Won’t be too good to bring this to lunch I’d think. I made this initially with chili jam, which I brought home from a trip to Norway. Now chili jam can easily be made at home, but over here you cannot find it in the stores.

So lately I’ve been making this Asian omelette with crispy chili oil, because – let’s face it – anything is better with crispy chili oil. Another slightly sweeter alternative is for making this with sweet chili sauce. That will work too.

With a little splash of fish sauce

I just love fish sauce and in this Asian omelette it does give it that instant Asian vibe. But if you hate fish sauce I won’t tell anyone if you leave it out. It will still taste good. I like to serve it with some crunchy elements like cucumber and radish. Pretty simple but so good.

Make sure to not use pre-cooked prawns for this recipe as I find them less than ideal for most dishes. They easily overcook and you don’t want that here. I used prawns with tails on but obviously you can use fully cleaned prawns for the Asian omelette as well.

Light dinner

If you’re serving this for dinner you might want to double the quantities. But it depends on how hungry you are. I like it so much I can easily eat two omelettes so keep that in mind when making it!
