A Classic Asian Egg Dish: Fried Eggs In Sweet Soy Sauce
This is a simple Asian homestyle fried egg dish. The eggs are first fried to perfection and then an aromatic spiced sweet soy sauce is drizzled on them before serving. The fried eggs itself is already so enticing as the egg whites are fried till the edges turn crunchy and the egg yolks are a crispy golden brown colour but still runny.
An Egg Dish That Tastes As Good As It Looks!
Hence, when drizzled with the aromatic black sweet soy sauce, the fried eggs taste just amazingly flavourful. When served garnished, they do not just taste good but they look great too. Serve it with steamed rice and you have a quick meal on the go. Definitely a favourite for egg lovers and for those on the go, especially those who enjoy eggs with a little caramel on them.
As always, Enjoy!

there’s a typo : 1shallotminced, chicken or pork
Dont think you meant to include “chicken or pork” – the recipe doesnt call for any and you labelled it as “halal”
Yes, it’s a typo error. Thanks for pointing out.
