Ingredients
Scale
For the Fried Eggs
- 1 tablespoon chili crisp
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 medium scallion, thinly sliced
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 2 large eggs
For Serving
- Toast or a warm bowl of rice (optional)
- Furikake, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil mixture: In a small nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat, heat 1 tablespoon of chili crisp and 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil until shimmering. This will infuse the oil with spicy, aromatic flavors.
- Prepare scallions: While the oil warms, thinly slice 1 medium scallion to use as a fresh garnish later.
- Cook the eggs: Swirl the pan or use the back of a spoon to evenly spread the chili crisp oil throughout the pan. Gently crack 2 large eggs into the pan and season them with a pinch of kosher salt. Cook undisturbed for 3 to 5 minutes, until the whites are set but yolks remain runny, and the edges become crisp. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Serve: Carefully slide the eggs onto a plate, toast, or a warm bowl of rice. Drizzle any remaining chili crisp oil from the pan over the eggs. Garnish with furikake and the sliced scallions for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Cooking eggs in chili crisp adds a spicy, aromatic depth to a classic fried egg.
- Use a nonstick pan to ensure the eggs don’t stick and the crispy edges develop nicely.
- Adjust cooking time slightly for firmer or runnier yolks based on preference.
- Furikake adds a savory, umami touch but can be omitted for a simpler dish.
- Serve with toast or rice to make it a complete meal.
