Brilio.net - When confused about choosing a side dish, omelettes are often the choice because they are delicious and easy to make. Even if only served with rice and chili sauce, omelettes still make anyone who eats them feel full. Especially if made thick and savory like in Padang restaurants, the taste is definitely more delicious.
However, many fail to make it at home because it doesn't taste good or is thin, so they add wheat flour to add thickness. Unlike Puguh, a netizen who, through the YouTube account Puguh Kristanto Kitchen, shared a trick to make Padang omelettes tastier and thicker with just 2 eggs. What's the trick?
First, prepare a bowl and break 2 eggs into it. Beat the eggs for 1 minute using a fork until smooth and slightly foamy. In another bowl, prepare 2 pieces of tofu and knead them using only your hands until they are slightly smooth. This tofu is the ninja way to make a thick Padang omelet, you know.

However, before mixing the tofu into the egg, the tofu must be seasoned first with curry spices so that the typical Padang flavor will be more pronounced later. You can use instant or homemade curry spices, just 1 tablespoon is enough. After mixing, then mix the tofu into the egg.
"The tofu flavor is gone, but it's thick, bro. Maybe because we mixed the spices at the beginning, so they were absorbed into the tofu mixture," explained Puguh, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Puguh Kristanto Kitchen on Wednesday (30/8).

Finally, Puguh also added a little rice flour so that his homemade omelet could be crispier when fried. Sprinkle with chopped spring onions so that the omelet is even more fragrant. Stir again and cook the omelet in a small pan with enough oil. Cook until both sides of the omelet are perfectly cooked, then drain and serve.
