"This unassuming recipe is actually rather famous now. Everyone who's tried these eggs — whether in the restaurant or at home — just raves about them. They're also a very nostalgic dish for me, because Mrs Jang was my Uncle Jimmy's mother, and she used to cook these eggs for my brothers and me after we'd been working in his noodle factory. They're so simple, fresh and tasty. Where Westerners have fried eggs and bacon, Chinese people have fried eggs with chilli, oyster sauce and spring onions." - Kylie Kwong
p/s: Kylie is one of my favourite celeb-chefs. I can say I'm a big fan of her cooking shows. I've tried this recipe my self and it's super-delicious... addictive! I don't think it's suitable for weight watchers laaa~ hehehe
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
- 4 large free-range eggs
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- small pinch ground white pepper
- 2 spring onions (scallions), finely sliced
- 1-2 red chillies, finely sliced
Methods:
- Heat oil in a hot wok until the surface seems to shimmer slightly. Crack the eggs into a small bowl, then pour into the hot oil. After 2 minutes, reduce heat to allow the bottom of the eggs to become firm and crisp; the yolks should still be runny at this point.
- Carefully slide a fish slice under the eggs, lift out of wok and pour off oil. Return eggs to wok and place back over the heat for another 1-2 minutes to crisp further.
- Gently remove eggs from wok and drain off any excess oil before easing onto a plate. Drizzle eggs with oyster sauce and garnish with pepper, spring onions and chillies.
