khai yad sai (ไข่ยัดไส้)

Thai. ‘Stuffed egg’. Name of a dish that consists of a lightly cooked omelet, that is folded into a square and filled with minced meat, usually pork or alternatively beef, mixed with some other ingredients, such as tomatoes, peas, onion, spring onion, coriander and carrots, and seasoned with pepper, sugar, oyster sauce and soy sauce. Often also ketchup or sot sri racha is added, or alternatively served in a small dish on the side as a dipping sauce. Hence the taste is sweet and sour, as well as a little salty, whilst the makeup makes it crunchy on the inside and soft on the outside. It is served over cooked rice and typically eaten with some fresh vegetables, such as salad and some slices of cucumber and tomato. 回
