Main Ingredients- 3 fresh eggs
- 20g scallions (about 2-3 stalks)
Special Sauce- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 Tbsp ketchup
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 3 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 2 Tbsp ketchup
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 3 Tbsp water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the delicious special sauce. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 3 tablespoons of water. Whisk everything together until the sugar is completely dissolved. (Tip: If the sugar is stubborn, you can gently warm the mixture slightly to help it dissolve.)
Step 2
Next, wash the scallions thoroughly and pat them dry. Finely chop them into small pieces, about 0.5 cm in size. The fresh, oniony flavor of the scallions will complement the eggs beautifully.
Step 3
Now for the star of the show – frying the eggs! Heat a generous amount of cooking oil (about 3-4 tablespoons) in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully crack the 3 eggs into the pan, being careful not to break the yolks. Fry them, almost like deep-frying, until the edges are golden brown and crispy, and the whites are cooked through. Don’t be shy with the oil; it helps achieve that wonderful crispy texture!
Step 4
Prepare some paper towels. Carefully lift the crispy fried eggs out of the hot oil and place them on the paper towels to drain off any excess oil. Removing excess oil is key to ensuring the sauce doesn’t make the eggs greasy and maintains a clean flavor profile.
Step 5
Return the drained fried eggs to the pan. Pour the prepared special sauce evenly over the eggs, and sprinkle the chopped scallions on top. Increase the heat to high and quickly stir-fry or toss for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. You want the sauce to coat the eggs lightly, creating a glossy finish and allowing the flavors to meld. Serve immediately and enjoy!
