Ingredients
tick what you already have - the rest goes on your shopping listHow to Make It
- 1
Whisk 200g rice flour with 300ml cold water in a bowl until smooth to ensure a thin, crispy batter.
- 2
Heat a large wok over high heat with 3 tbsp oil until it shimmers.
- 3
Pour half of the batter into the hot wok and spread it out into a thin, even circle to achieve maximum crispiness.
- 4
Crack 2 eggs directly onto the batter and scramble them slightly with a spatula to cover the surface.
- 5
Pat the oysters dry with kitchen paper and scatter half of them (250g) evenly over the egg.
- 6
Cook for 3 minutes until the underside is deep golden brown and the edges have detached from the wok.
- 7
Flip the omelet carefully, in sections with the spatula if needed, and fry for another 2 minutes until the eggs are set.
- 8
Push the omelet to one side, add half of the bean sprouts (75g) to the wok and toss them for 30 seconds to wilt them slightly while keeping their snap.
- 9
Slide the bean sprouts and the omelet onto a plate, drizzle with 1 tbsp oyster sauce and serve immediately while hot. Heat the remaining 3 tbsp oil in the wok and repeat steps 3 to 8 with the remaining batter, 2 eggs, oysters and bean sprouts, then serve with the remaining 1 tbsp oyster sauce.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hoi Tod?
Hoi Tod is a Thai street food dish consisting of a crispy omelet made with oysters, egg, and rice flour. It is typically served over a bed of stir-fried bean sprouts and often seasoned with oyster sauce.
Can I use cornstarch instead of rice flour?
Rice flour is essential for the characteristic 'shattering' crunch; cornstarch makes the batter too gummy.
How do I keep it from being greasy?
Ensure the oil is very hot before adding the batter; if the oil is lukewarm, the flour will absorb it instead of frying.
Is it better to use fresh or frozen oysters?
Fresh small oysters are ideal, but if using frozen, ensure they are completely thawed and patted dry to prevent excess moisture.
What is the best side condiment?
A generous serving of Sriracha sauce or a vinegar-based chili sauce cuts through the richness of the egg perfectly.
