OPEN for ingredients! Oyster Omelette, or Fried Oyster Eggs or Orh Luak or Orh Jian is a Singapore Hawker classic. This is such a unique dish – a chewy gooey starch stir fried with eggs and tossed with oysters. To be honest, I love this mainly for the chewy bits. This is also always served with a side of a spicy sour sambal, which goes so well with the briny oysters and I’ll show you that here too. A super quick and easy recipe for Orh Luak, so let’s gooo!
The hawker version often has pork lard, this has no pork lard, but still delicious. Feel free to load up on oil if you want the greasiness of the lard.
Don’t like oysters? Replace with shrimps or prawns – in fact it’s what I always do. Prawns take longer to cook than oysters.
