Thai-Style Omelet

This is a quick and easy single serving recipe that can be served at any meal. It's traditionally served with fresh raw veggies on a bed of warm steamed rice, but you can serve it any way you'd like. It's naturally gluten and dairy free (check your fish sauce ingredient labels to be sure, though) and both chicken and duck eggs work well. Add some chopped cooked meat or seafood to make it even fancier. Simply double the ingredients for a 2 egg omelet.
