Prepare the Egg Omelet:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 beaten eggs, adding salt, ground black pepper, and mushroom broth powder to taste.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of oil.
- Pour half of the egg mixture into the pan, swirling it to form a thin layer. Cook until the edges begin to set, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining egg mixture to create a second omelet. Allow both omelets to cool slightly before slicing them into your preferred shapes.

Prepare the Dipping Mixture:
- In another bowl, combine the beaten egg, soy sauce, and the crispy flour mix. This will create a flavorful coating for your omelet pieces.
-
Coat the Omelet Pieces:
- Take each piece of the sliced omelet and dip it first into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Then, dredge it in the crispy flour mix, making sure to cover it thoroughly for that perfect crunch.
-
Fry the Crispy Eggs:
- In a large frying pan, heat oil over low heat. Once the oil is hot, gently place the coated omelet pieces in the pan.
- Fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
-
Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the crispy eggs from the oil and let them drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve warm, accompanied by sambal (spicy chili sauce) and mayonnaise for dipping. These crispy eggs make for a delicious breakfast option or a savory snack any time of day.
