    Elevate Your Fried Eggs with a Secret Ingredient

    When it comes to frying eggs, I've discovered THE secret weapon: chili crunch oil! This fiery & aromatic oil takes your fried egg to a whole new level.

    Picture this: the egg sizzling in the pan, surrounded by a pool of vibrant chili-infused oil. As it cooks, the edges turn beautifully crispy, while the yolk remains velvety and runny. & let's not forget the irresistible flavor that chili flakes bring to the table. It's a symphony of textures & tastes that will have you coming back for seconds.

    The Trick to Flawless Fried Eggs

    The foundation of the best fried eggs lies in selecting the right pan or griddle & achieving the ideal heat.

    • Opt for a non-stick pan to ensure a smooth egg-flipping experience.
    • With your pan in place, heat it over a medium-low to medium flame, allowing the temperature to rise gradually. This gentle approach guarantees an evenly cooked egg, steering clear of any unfortunate burn incidents.

    Mastering the Perfect Fried Egg Texture

    Patience becomes your virtue when it comes to frying eggs. You will watch the egg white gradually set & the edges achieve a delightful crunch. When the whites are fully set you will want to flip your egg, not before.

    How To Fry An Egg: Seasoning Secrets

    As your fried egg masterpiece comes to life, seize the opportunity to add a pinch of salt & pepper. Let these simple yet powerful seasonings work their magic, harmonizing with the chili crunch oil's inherent flavors!

    Heat a pan or griddle to medium heat. Once the pan is hot- scoop the chili crunch oil on to the pan or griddle  & wait for it to sizzle.

    Once the oil is ready, crack the egg directly into the oil. Be careful to make sure the yolk is not broken during this process.

    Cook until the white are set. This can take up to 4 minutes. Carefully flip the egg & cook for an additional 10 seconds. Remove from the pan or griddle & serve immediately. Enjoy!
