- oil for deep-frying, as needed
- 1 tbsp coriander, optional, chopped, for topping
- 1 green onion, optional, chopped, for topping

- Gently stir in the crab meat and garlic. Mix lightly to keep the meat intact.1 cup crab meat, 1 clove garlic
- Heat a generous amount of oil over medium-high heat in a non-stick skillet or wok. You want enough oil to cover and deep-fry the omelette. Once the oil is hot, gently pour the egg and crab mixture into the center of the hot oil.
- For the Bangkok-style rolled omelette: Lift one side with a spatula and roll it towards the center, layer by layer, to create a thick, rolled shape. Cook until golden and crispy, then carefully lift the omelette out to drain on a paper towel.For a simpler approach: Just deep-fry the mixture as one large omelette without rolling, flipping once to cook evenly.
- To serve, garnish with freshly chopped coriander or green onions. Pair it with jasmine rice, a side of chili sauce, and a squeeze of lime juice, if you like.
