Fried Egg with Oyster Sauce & Chili
from Simple Chinese Cooking by Kylie Kwong
4 free range eggs
2 tbls oyster sauce + 1 tbl water, mixed
pinch ground pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
1-2 chilies, finely sliced
3 tbl cooking oil
Carefully crack eggs into a bowl. Heat oil in wok on high heat until surface seems to shimmer slightly. Pour eggs into hot oil. After 1 minute, reduce heat to medium, allowng the underside of the egg to become firm and crisp. The yolks should still be runny at this point. Cook 1 more minute. Gently slide eggs off plate, trying to keep excess oil in wok. Drizzle eggs with oyster sauce. Season with pepper. Garnish with chili and scallions. Serve immediately.
I’m an amateur egg pornographer
…compared to this guy. Here’s the real grand-daddy of egg porn – from the movie Tampopo (thanks Nate!)
Dude. I think I’m gonna hurl.

Those fried eggs look really good. A quick and tasty breakfast.
You do that with oyster sauce?In Malaysia/S’pore, we do it with a drizzle of kecap manis(ABC) or sometimes dark soy sauce
Omg, that looks soooo good! I bet it would be good on top of plain white rice. Do you ever just eat a fried egg with a drizzle of soy sauce on top of white rice?
I love eggs but that awful smell they leave behind on washed dishes is enough to make me barf….it can be really really disgusting…chicken and turkey just leave that stink on dishes too…
