Begin by making ginger scallion sauce. Start with about 2 tablespoons of chopped ginger and 2 stalks of green onions.

Add enough neutral flavored oil to cover the ginger and scallions, aiming for a chimichurri consistency.

Use a spoon to scrape off the skin of the ginger efficiently, then give everything a rough chop and combine in a bowl.

Season the mixture with a pinch of salt.

Heat oil to its smoking point and pour it over the ginger and scallions to release their aromas without overcooking them.

For the sriracha mayo, combine about 1/4 cup of mayo, 2-3 tablespoons of sriracha, and 1 tablespoon of maggie seasoning in a bowl. Adjust to taste.

Prepare the omelette by cracking 4 eggs into a bowl, removing any shell pieces, and whisking until homogenized. Add a bit of fish sauce for extra umami.

Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add some butter along with a bit of ginger scallion oil to prevent burning.

Pour the egg mixture into the hot pan and add ginger and scallion sauce directly into the egg mix for flavor.

Cook until the omelet has nice big curds and a creamy center, then remove from heat.

Cut open a warm toasted roll carefully to keep the hinge intact.

Spread sriracha mayo on the inside of the roll and add more maggie seasoning if desired.

Add ginger scallion sauce to the roll, followed by fresh cilantro, scallions, and the cooked omelet.

Top with fresh cracked black pepper and red thai chilies for heat and color.

Assemble the sandwich and enjoy.
