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...)
