Directions
FOR THE NAM PRIK SAUCE
FOR THE VEGETABLE STIR FRY
FOR THE OMELETTES
1 For the Nam Prik Sauce: Put the lime juice and garlic into a liquidiser and whizz until smooth. Add all the other ingredients and blend well. Add water to make a smooth sauce-like consistency and pass through a fine sieve.
2 For the Vegetable Stir-Fry: Heat the oil in a frying pan or wok, add all the vegetables and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until cooked but still crunchy.
Add the pickled ginger and toss for a few seconds to heat through.
3 Drizzle some nam prik sauce over the base of each plate in a zigzag pattern and put the stir-fried vegetables in the centre of each one.
4 For the Omelettes: Heat a 20-23cm/ 8-9" omelette pan over a medium heat, add 1 tbsp oil and, when hot, ¼ of the beaten eggs. Move the mixture over the base of the pan with the back of a fork until beginning to set. Then stop stirring and cook for two minutes until just a little moist on top.
5 Put ¼ crab meat down the centre of the omelette and season to taste with salt and pepper. Fold the omelette over twice and place on the stir-fried vegetables. Serve straight away, and cook the remaining omelettes in the same way.
