Ingredients

(For full ingredient measurements, please proceed to the recipe card below.)

Eggs
Green onion, small onion & garlic: The aromatics.
Fresh chili peppers (optional): Malaysians love our spice, so even in simple meals like this, you best believe we’ll add a bit of chili for that perfect bit of heat.
Sweet soy sauce
Light soy sauce
Water

Instructions

Mix sweet soy sauce, light soy sauce and water in a bowl to make the sauce. Set aside.
In a pan over medium heat, sauté onions, garlic, the white part of the green onion and the chili peppers until fragrant.
Make space in the middle and break the eggs directly into the pan to fry it.
When the eggs are halfway cooked, pour in the sauce and let it simmer. Continue cooking the egg to your preferred liking.
Serve with white rice. Enjoy!

Best served immediately: The eggs are best served when it’s hot because once it’s cooled down, it can turn a bit soggy from absorbing the sauce.
