Date: Tue, 26 Mar 1996 16:21:48 -0700 From: "Colonel I. F. K.
Philpott" <colonel@korat1.vu-korat.ac.th> The title of this snack is
my Sister-in-Law's idea of a joke -- in Thai it means "an omellete
made from expensive foreign food" -- the expensive food in question
being Hormel brand Spam and Fray Bentos brand corned beef. -- these
are however grossly expensive in Thailand, costing several dollars a
can (this meal would cost a laborer several days wages. Take a medium
tin of corned beef and break it up with a fork. Take a similar sized
tin of Spam, and cut it into small dice. Combine. This should give you
about a cup of meat. Add a tablespoon of fish sauce, and a tablespoon
of dark sweet soy, and stir in a tablespoon of prik phom (ground red
chilis). Leave to marinade for about an hour. Beat 3 duck eggs, with
three teaspoons of fish sauce. Now in a wok saute a tablespoon of
garlic, a tablespoon of ground ginger, and a tablespoon of shallots
(purple onions). Add the marinaded meat, and stir fry until the meat
begins to turn brown. Add a tablespoon of chopped red and a tablespoon
of chopped green prik chi fa (Thai jalapenas) Stir the meat mix, to
amalgamate the ingredients, and if desired add freshly cracked black
pepper to taste. In a 10" omellette pan, fry half the egg mix. When it
is set on the pan side, spoon half the meat mix neatly into the center
in a rectangular shape, and fold the edges of the omellette over the
meat to form a parcel. Flip it over and fry until sealed and the egg
is cooked through. Similarly cook the other half of the mixture. Cut
each omelette in two, and serve with other snack/linch foods (such as
pad Thai, pad mi Korat, som tam...) CHILE-HEADS DIGEST V2 #277 From
