4.9 from 144 reviews

A savory twist on classic fried eggs, this Soy Sauce Fried Eggs recipe uses heavy cream to create a rich, silky texture, enhanced with umami-packed soy sauce and a spicy kick from salsa macha or chili crisp. Perfect for a flavorful breakfast or quick meal, topped with fresh scallions for a burst of freshness.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 45 eggs
  • ¼ to 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.
