   • Heat a generous amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, crack the eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks.
   • Sprinkle a pinch of salt and ground black pepper over the eggs. Fry until the whites are fully set and the edges are golden brown. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set them aside.

2. Prepare the Sauce:

   • Slice the shallots, garlic, red chili pepper, and bird’s eye chilies thinly. Chop the green onion into small pieces.
   • In the same skillet used for frying the eggs, add a bit more oil if needed. Heat over medium heat.
   • Add the sliced shallots, garlic, red chili pepper, and bird’s eye chilies to the skillet. Sauté until the shallots and garlic become fragrant and translucent.
   • Add the granulated sugar, salt, ground black pepper, sweet soy sauce, and oyster sauce to the skillet. Stir to combine all the ingredients well.
   • Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.

3. Combine and Serve:

   • Gently add the fried eggs back into the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Reduce the heat to low and let the eggs cook in the sauce for about 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced and thickened, and the flavors have melded together.
   • Garnish with chopped green onion before serving.

4. Enjoy:

   • Serve your Spicy Soy Sauce Fried Eggs hot, paired with a bowl of steamed rice. The savory, spicy sauce complements the crispy fried eggs perfectly, making it a comforting and satisfying meal.
