2. How to make fish sauce fried eggs

Once you have prepared all the ingredients, you will proceed to make fish sauce fried eggs according to the following steps:

Step 1: Preliminary processing and preparation of ingredients

Wash the green onions, shallots, and coriander thoroughly, then cut them in half and divide them into two parts: green onion tops and green onion leaves, then finely chop them and put them on a plate. For the shallots and coriander, also finely chop them and place them next to the chopped green onions.

Step 2: Prepare the fish sauce

Mix 100ml of filtered water with 2 tablespoons of sugar (about 20g), half a tablespoon of MSG, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce. Then, add 1 tablespoon of chili sauce to make the sauce thicker and more colorful, and 1 half teaspoon of pepper for extra flavor. Finally, stir them together to make a super delicious bowl of sauce.

Step 3: Fry the eggs

Heat a pan and add a little oil, when the oil is hot, add the green onion tops and stir-fry, then crack the eggs into the pan and fry over medium heat. Fry for about 2-3 minutes until the eggs are golden brown and then remove. You can fry the whole egg like a fried egg or beat the eggs and fry them, depending on your preference.

Step 4: Simmer the fish sauce with the fried egg

In this step, fry the shallots until fragrant, then pour in the fish sauce prepared in step 2 and simmer. When it boils, add the fried eggs, heat over medium heat and pour the sauce over the eggs so that the eggs absorb the spices.

Continue frying the eggs with the sauce for 6 minutes over medium heat, until the sauce is thick and almost dry, then sprinkle with green onions and coriander and then turn off the heat and transfer to a plate.

Frequently asked questions

To make perfect fish sauce fried eggs, you’ll need eggs, fish sauce, sugar, cooking oil, shallots, and garlic. First, heat oil in a pan and fry the shallots and garlic until fragrant. Then, break the eggs into a bowl, add fish sauce and sugar, and whisk well. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and fry until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.

The key to this dish is finding the right balance of fish sauce and sugar. You want to use enough fish sauce to give the eggs a savory, umami flavor, but not so much that it overpowers the other ingredients. Similarly, adding a touch of sugar helps to balance the saltiness of the fish sauce and enhances the overall flavor. It’s also important to fry the shallots and garlic first to create a fragrant base for the eggs.

Absolutely! This recipe is a great base, but feel free to adjust the amounts of fish sauce and sugar to suit your taste. If you like your eggs a little spicier, you can add some chili flakes or chopped chili peppers to the shallot and garlic mixture. You could also experiment with adding other ingredients like green onions or herbs for extra flavor and texture.

This dish is typically served with steamed rice and a variety of other side dishes. Some great options include stir-fried vegetables, pickled vegetables, or a refreshing salad. If you’re looking for something heartier, you could also serve it with grilled meat or seafood.

Leftover fish sauce fried eggs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply warm them gently in a pan over low heat, adding a little cooking oil if necessary to prevent sticking. You can also use leftover eggs to make a delicious fried rice dish by chopping them up and stirring them into cooked rice with some vegetables and additional soy sauce or fish sauce to taste.
