Preparation

Step 1

Make the sweet chili sauce: Mix all the ingredients together until the sugar dissolves.

Make the omelet:
Mix all the ingredients together.

Set the stove on medium/high and in a large wok like pan and add the grape seed oil.

Once hot, add the egg mixture. The egg mixture should inflate if the oil is at the right temperature.
Cook until the bottom of the omelet is golden brown. Then, flip and brown the topside. Slide omelet off the pan and onto a plate with a paper towel to dry off excess oil.

Top with cilantro and serve with a side of sweet chili sauce.
