Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chili crisp with oil
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) additional oil or butter (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Ignite a skillet over medium-high heat, creating an optimal sizzling surface for the culinary experience.
- Seasoning: Generously coat the pan with chili crisp, complementing with a light brush of oil or butter to enhance richness and prevent sticking.
- Egg Technique: Gently crack eggs directly into the spicy, shimmering oil, allowing them to spread and absorb the fiery essence while maintaining distinct egg shapes.
- Flavor Infusion: Drench the eggs with spoonfuls of chili crisp, ensuring complete coverage and maximum flavor penetration, while simultaneously cooking the eggs to achieve crisp edges and perfectly set whites.
- Final Touch: Adjust seasoning if needed, considering the inherent spiciness of the chili crisp, and plate the eggs atop crusty toast, rice, noodles, or preferred base to complete the dish.
Notes
- Optimize Pan Temperature: Medium-high heat ensures crispy edges and prevents burning, creating the perfect sizzling environment for spicy fried eggs.
- Chili Crisp Selection: Choose high-quality chili crisp with robust flavor and varied texture to elevate the egg’s taste profile and add complex heat.
- Egg Placement Technique: Crack eggs directly into hot, oil-coated pan to achieve those coveted crispy, lacy edges and prevent uneven cooking.
- Finishing Touch Matters: Baste eggs continuously with hot chili crisp to infuse maximum flavor and create a glossy, mouth-watering presentation.
