Deb,

Try Sriracha on a Thai Omelet for breakfast--that's heavenly.  Everytime 
we're in Thailand that's our breakfast of choice.  First gulped them down 
about 12 years ago up in Chiang Rai or was it Mae Hong Song.  Never mind, 
here's what you do to make this quick easy and tasty omelet.

Take a little ground pork fry, drain fat and add:
Sliced shallot, a few sliced Phrik Kee Neu (Thai chiles) to your taste and a 
splash of Nam Plaa (fish sauce/Three Crabs is the best, Tiporas is good as 
well) and saute lightly.  

Whisk 2 or 3 eggs w/ a little water.  Pour into saute pan. Sprinkle w/white 
pepper and a touch of salt if you want.  Now toss on your sauted 
pork-chiles-shallot mixture, and a few fresh Krapao leaves.  A nice addition 
is blanched Winged Beans. They are added with the Krapao.

A wonderful garnish for this and many other Thai dishes is quickly deep fried 
Krapoa leaves.  The taste and crunchy texture is a delight.

My applogies for posting this recipe to those that have "all" the Thai 
recipes.
