Asian Fried Eggs

Savor the vibrant flavors of Asian Fried Eggs, where perfectly cooked eggs meet the crunch of sesame seeds and the zing of fresh chilies. Ideal for a quick weeknight dinner or a delightful brunch treat.

• 2 spring onions
• 1–2 fresh mixed-colour chillies
• 2 heaped tablespoons mixed sesame seeds
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

Method

1. 1

   Trim the spring onions, very finely slice at an angle with the chillies, pop both into a bowl of ice-cold water, add a swig of red wine vinegar and put aside.

2. 2

   Place a large non-stick frying pan on medium-high heat and lightly toast the sesame seeds for 1 minute. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then crack in the eggs. Put a lid on the pan, and fry to your liking.

3. 3

   Place the eggs on your plates – I like one facing up and one facing down. From a height, drizzle over the hoisin (loosening with a splash of water first, if needed). Drain and scatter over the spring onions and chillies, stab the yolks, and enjoy.
