Servings 1
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chili crisp
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Spoon the chili crisp into the center of a nonstick skillet and heat over medium-low.
- Drizzle the oil over the chili crisp.
- When the oil begins to shimmer or sizzle, create a crater in the center of the chili crisp, keeping the chili crisp in a neat circle, and break the egg into it. Let the egg cook undisturbed.
- If the egg whites spread around the pan, scootch them back into the chili crisp with a spatula.
- Let the egg cook until the yolk is set to the desired doneness, then transfer from the pan to a plate or atop your dish.
Notes
The eggs white tend to spread into the chili crisp circle, which is a good thing. Once they've set a bit, the whole thing becomes like a pancake that can be flipped with a flat spatula and fork. If your goal is for a well-cooked yolk, you can flip the egg towards the end to finish the cooking. The salad photos above contain an egg that was flipped.(although not cooked to fully set).
Note: You can cook as many eggs at one time as will fit in your skillet!
