FAQs

Can I use regular cream instead of heavy cream?

Light cream or half-and-half can be used but may result in a slightly thinner sauce. Heavy cream gives the richest, creamiest texture.

What can I substitute for salsa macha or chili crisp?

If you don’t have salsa macha or chili crisp, try a drizzle of chili oil or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to add heat and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Egg Mixture

• 4–5 eggs
• ¼ to ⅓ cup heavy cream
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• Pinch of MSG
• Pinch of black pepper

Toppings

• 1 tbsp salsa macha or chili crisp, plus more for topping
• Scallions to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat Pan and Add Cream: Preheat a skillet or frying pan on high heat for 2 minutes until hot. Add the heavy cream to the pan, then reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer gently for 1 minute, allowing the cream to warm and slightly thicken.
2. Add Eggs and Seasonings: Crack the eggs directly into the pan with the cream. Add the soy sauce, a pinch of MSG, and black pepper evenly around the eggs. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 2–3 minutes, until the egg whites have set but yolks remain runny or to your desired doneness.
3. Finish and Serve: Remove the lid and carefully transfer the eggs to serving plates. Top with chopped scallions and a generous spoonful of salsa macha or chili crisp. Add more chili crisp on top if desired for an extra spicy kick.

Notes

• You can adjust the amount of soy sauce according to taste for more or less saltiness.
• Using fresh scallions adds a nice contrast; green onions can be substituted if unavailable.
• Covering the pan helps the egg whites cook evenly without flipping.
• Salsa macha or chili crisp can be swapped for other chili oils or hot sauces depending on your spice preference.
