Chili Crisp Fried Eggs
These fried eggs are equal parts flavorful and spicy.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp chili crisp
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 large eggs
- Furikake For garnish (optional)
- Green onions Chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium skillet or sauté pan, preferably nonstick, over medium-low heat, warm the chili crisp and sesame oil. Gently crack the eggs over the chili crisp and let the eggs crisp up around the edges for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny. Be sure to keep the heat medium-low to prevent the chili crisp from burning.
- Enjoy chili crisp fried eggs on their own. Or serve them over toast, English muffins, or rice, which is a go-to, easy meal. Garnish with furikake and freshly chopped green onions, if desired. Feel free to add an extra drizzle of chili crisp on top of the fried eggs if you like.
Notes
NOTE: A chili crisp fried egg is an easy way to turn your boring rice into something incredible. Add 1 tbsp of butter and 1 tsp of soy sauce to a bowl of cooked hot rice, and then slide the egg on top. Garnish with green onions, toasted sesame seeds, more chili crisp, and toasted sesame oil, if you want.
