Hoy Tod

Thailand · Southeast Asia

Short description

Ingredients
Oysters or mussels with egg, rice flour, tapioca starch, bean sprouts, scallions, garlic, white pepper, fish sauce, oil, and chile sauce.
Cultural note
It is associated with wok stalls and late-night plates, often finished over bean sprouts for crunch.
Common misconception
It is not a fluffy breakfast omelet; the starch batter is meant to fry crisp.
