On of my favourite cooking show is Kylie Kwong: Cooking with Heart and Soul, not only her smile reminds me of my childhood friends but her cooking is like my mother’s. She makes Chinese cooking reachable and her dishes tell stories.
One of my favourite episodes was one that she made Mrs Jang’s simplest fried eggs and shared it with her brother. Watching that made my rusty skull cracked open splattering the rather shady, blurry, memories of my own forgotten favourite. I fried eggs just like that, drizzled some soy sauce and white peppers over them, eating so fast- hot and hurry, every other days after school.
As soon as I was reminded, I ran to my kitchen knowing exactly what I wanted. The fresh free-range eggs almost crawled out of the bag as synchronization to my desirable operation. As the hot oil transformed the slimy clear gel to opaque white, the smooth creamy yolks slowly set to the mellow-y xanthous pudding. I left the yolks a little runny so they would be a beautiful contrast to the crispy brown bottom. The smell moved along with the heat mirage over the pan was so warm and inviting.
Kylie Kwong used oyster sauce, white peppers, scallions, bird eyes chili to beautifully top her fried eggs. To make the eggs felt more me, I used Sriracha sauce and soy sauce instead of oyster sauce. I also omitted red chili as I was going to share this with my son.
Comforting Fried Eggs
Ingredient (2 servings)
3-4 eggs
Soy sauce to taste
Sriracha sauce to taste
Ground white pepper corn to taste
A sprinkle of scallion
1 tbsp oil
Preparation
- Heat oil in the pan over the medium-high heat. When the oil is smoking hot, crack in all the eggs. Let it cook for a minute or two or until the bottom becomes firm, brown and crispy. The yolk should be half cooked and a little runny.
- Drizzle over with soy sauce and Sriracha sauce, sprinkle over with some white pepper and top with scallion. Serve hot and share with your love ones.
Yaseen loved the crispy brown bottom soaked in yellow yoke and soy sauce. Sriracha chili sauce added a pungent spiciness to the rustic fried eggs. It was so simple and comforting. This could be so much better if we used our home grown duck eggs from Thailand, but organic chicken eggs did a wonderful job as well. The dish was warm and richened with memories, and I was so happy I got to share it with my son.
Love,
Tes

Nothing as nice as fried eggs. It was my husband (fried egg addict) who taught me how to eat it with soy sauce. Delicious!
So simple yet delicious 🙂 Can have anytime of the day 🙂
I am HUGE fan of eggs and every egg recipe makes me smile and hungry. :-).
they are indeed comforting Tes.

That looks yummy! I’ve never tried fried eggs with soy sauce. Will do next time 🙂
This is comfort food at its very best. Fatty, spicy, salty, gooey…just serve this over some hot rice and I am a happy lady!!!
Looks fantastic! I love eggs with hot sauce…and now I’m going to have to try it with soy sauce! I love Braggs version!
I love fried eggs it always reminds me of being a kid. My mother used to make me them all the time to eat with rice soup or any other dish she was cooking. 🙂
I made something similar to taste after watching her program, but modified here and there to suit our taste at home. Looks good Tes.
Love fried eggs! Your son is so adorable too 🙂
Delicious! It’s amazing how the simplest dishes are the most delicious!
These are so pretty. I’ve never heard of Kylie Kwong but I’m going to look her up now.
I also love fried eggs but always do mine in butter – we often had them with soy sauce and green onions and pepper when we lived in Mauritius with noodles dishes.

lovely, the way you have described really makes it good ; nice pic of your son
O love Kylie Kwong and I love this egg recipe. I have it in a cookbook and have been eyeing it for a long time!
never tried egg recipe with soy sauce.. thanks for the recipe
Great work! Sriracha on eggs is one of the most amazing things. I will have to try the soy though. It would be a good substitution for salt. Thanks for the post!
Luckily this morning I had all the ingredients for Comforting Fried Eggs, delicious!!! I will be making this recipe over and over again… Thank you!!
I was searching for new ways to cook eggs and I would have never thought of making fried eggs with soy sauce and sriracha. I made it today and oh my goodness it was SO GOOD! Thank you so much for this inspirational idea I can’t believe how amazing this turned out. I will definitely make this again!
