Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 2 eggs

Frying

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes or 1 teaspoon chili oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon green onions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Make the sauce: In a small pan, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or sugar), minced garlic, and chili flakes or chili oil. Warm the mixture gently over low heat until it thickens slightly, stirring occasionally to blend the flavors.
  2. Fry the eggs: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Crack in the eggs carefully and cook until the whites turn crisp around the edges, while keeping the yolks runny. For extra crispy whites, spoon hot oil over the edges as they cook.
  3. Plate and drizzle: Transfer the fried eggs to a serving plate. Spoon the warm spicy sweet and sour sauce evenly over the top of the eggs.
  4. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the sliced green onions and sesame seeds over the sauced eggs. Serve immediately while hot for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • To achieve extra crispy egg whites, spoon hot oil over the edges of the eggs as they fry.
  • You can prepare the sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Adjust the amount of chili flakes or chili oil according to your preferred spice level.
