Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Red and green bird’s eye chilies, sliced (adjust to taste)
- A small tomato, sliced
- A pinch of Totole seasoning (or any chicken bouillon powder)
- A splash of Saori oyster sauce
- Soy sauce, to taste
- A pinch of white sugar
- Water, as needed
Instructions:
-
Fry the Eggs:
- Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and fry until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Sprinkle a pinch of Totole seasoning over the eggs for added flavor.
-
Prepare the Aromatics:
- In the same pan, add a bit more oil if necessary. Sauté the sliced onion and minced garlic until they become fragrant and the onions are translucent.
-
Add the Chilies and Tomato:
- Incorporate the sliced red and green chilies into the pan. Cook briefly until they start to soften. Add the sliced tomato and stir to combine.
-
Season the Mixture:
- Pour in a small amount of water and let it simmer for a few moments. Add Totole seasoning, a splash of Saori oyster sauce, and soy sauce to taste. Stir well to ensure the flavors meld together.
-
Combine and Simmer:
- Gently place the fried eggs back into the pan, spooning some of the onion and chili mixture over the top. Allow the sauce to reduce slightly and thicken, which should take a few minutes.
-
Finish and Serve:
- Once the sauce has thickened and the eggs are coated with the flavorful mixture, remove from heat. Serve immediately with steamed rice or as a flavorful side dish.
This dish is perfect for a quick, satisfying meal that combines spicy, savory, and slightly sweet flavors. Enjoy your delicious, spicy fried eggs!
