What is the name of the Thai stuffed omelette filled with minced pork?

The Thai stuffed omelette filled with minced pork is Khai Yat Sai. The name means “stuffed eggs,” and the dish consists of a thin omelette wrapped around a savory filling, commonly minced pork cooked with vegetables and seasonings.

The filling may include onion, peas, spring onion, carrots, and tomatoes, with fish sauce or oyster sauce adding salt and umami. The egg is cooked lightly so it remains flexible enough to fold over the filling, creating a square or envelope-like parcel. It can be served as a main dish or as part of a shared Thai meal, usually with rice.

Khai Yat Sai is not limited to pork: minced beef and other variations are also possible. That flexibility sometimes causes confusion, because the name identifies the stuffed-omelette format rather than one completely fixed ingredient list. Khai Tod is different—it is a fried egg dish, often associated with a crisp, lacy texture—while Khai Jiao is a fluffy Thai-style omelette that is usually seasoned and fried without a stuffed center. Khai means egg, and yat sai means stuffed or inserted filling.
