A vibrant and flavorful dish featuring crispy fried eggs topped with a spicy, sweet, and tangy sauce.

Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 2 eggs

For Frying

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Spicy Sweet and Sour 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, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens and the flavors meld, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Fry the eggs: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the egg whites are crisp and fully set while keeping the yolks runny, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  3. Plate and drizzle: Transfer the fried eggs onto a serving plate. Spoon the warm spicy sweet and sour sauce generously over the eggs, ensuring they are well coated.
  4. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds evenly on top of the sauced eggs. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of crispy eggs and the flavorful sauce.

Notes

  • For a milder dish, reduce or omit the chili flakes or chili oil.
  • Use honey for a richer sweetness or sugar as a simple alternative.
  • Ensure the oil is hot enough to crisp the egg whites without burning.
  • Can be served as a quick breakfast or a flavorful snack.
  • Adjust the sauce thickness by simmering longer or shorter depending on preference.
