One-Pan Braised Fried Eggs
These one-pan braised eggs are simmered in a sauce that’s part spicy, part savoury with just that right touch of tangy sweetness. They are as delicious for breakfast, as they are for a hearty lunch or dinner served over a big bowl of leftover rice!
Ingredients
For the sauce
- 1½ tbsp soy sauce
- 1½-2 tbsp water mixed with ½ tbsp corn flour
- 1 tsp vinegar
- ½ tbsp hot sauce of choice (I used Sriracha)
- ½ tbsp ketchup
For the eggs
- 1-2 tbsp sesame oil/ neutral-flavoured cooking oil of choice
- 2-4 tsp gochugaru (crushed red pepper flakes) ; adjust according to preference
- 1-2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 onion, finely-sliced
- handful of scallions/ spring onions, finely-sliced
- 3-4 cloves of garlic, sliced lengthwise into “chips”
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Start by whisking together the corn flour and water until you have slurry. Then mix together the soy sauce, ketchup , vinegar and hot sauce. Pour in the slurry while whisking continuously, to ensure it dissolves.
- Gently heat a splash of oil. Add the gochugaru and sesame seeds. Stir well.
- Then add the onion, garlic and scallions, stirring regularly to cook until the onions are fragrant and translucent; and the garlic is beautifully-browned.
- Push everything outwards to the edge of the pan; then crack the eggs into the centre.
- Once the eggs are about halfway cooked, pour in your sauce. Let it simmer until thickened and the eggs have cooked through to your desired consistency.
- Serve hot with rice/ noodles and DIVE IN!
