Ingredients
  

For the Fried Eggs
  • 2 large Eggs Fresh eggs are best for rich flavor and perfect runniness.
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil A neutral oil like canola works well for frying.
For the Sweet and Sour Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce Tamari works for gluten-free needs.
  • 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar Substitute with apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar if necessary.
  • 1 tablespoon Honey Use agave syrup for a vegan option.
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Flakes Adjust quantity based on your spice preference.
  • 1 clove Garlic Minced fresh garlic enhances the sauce’s flavor beautifully.
For Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons Green Onions Sliced for garnish.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, and chili flakes. Warm over low heat, whisking until honey dissolves and sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Pour vegetable oil into a skillet over medium-high heat. Heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
  3. Carefully crack eggs into the hot skillet. Fry undisturbed for 2-4 minutes until whites are crisp and yolks remain soft.
  4. Using a slotted spatula, transfer fried eggs to a plate. Arrange beautifully.
  5. Spoon the warm sauce over the fried eggs, covering each egg.
  6. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
