Instructions
Fish sauce eggs
In a pan, heat up 1 tbsp of oil. Add in the eggs. Let it sizzle and then add in the fish sauce and pepper flake. Cook just until the whites are cooked and yolks a little runny if desire. Serve over white rice and enjoy! You can drizzle a little fish sauce over the top if you want as well. This was how we grew up eating it. 🙂
Tomato eggs
In a pan, heat up 1 tbsp of oil. Add in the sliced tomatoes and sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Cook until the tomato juices are released. Then add in the eggs and sprinkle with a little bit of salt. Cook until eggs are to your desire doneness. Serve with rice. Sprinkle chopped green onions if you desire.
Green onion ginger eggs
In a bowl, crack two eggs. Add in the chopped green onions, ginger, salt and pepper. Mix well. In a pan heat up 1 tbsp of oil. Then add in the egg mixture. Cook it either scramble or omelet style. I like mine omelet style. Once cooked, serve with rice and enjoy!
Egg cheddar toasty
In a pan, melt 1 tbsp of butter. Once melted, add in the two eggs, salt and pepper. Cook to medium and then top with cheddar cheese. Turn off heat and let the cheese melt while you toast the bread. Once the bread is toasted, place the eggs in and add a little sriracha on top. Close with the other slice of bread and cut the sandwich in half to serve. Enjoy!
Notes
Be adventurous and add other ingredients you like! These are the simplest flavors I grew up eating and remembering. 🙂
