Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 60 ml coconut oil or lard
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 bird's eye chilies sliced
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp erythritol
  • Fresh coriander to serve
  • Sliced cucumber to serve

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a wok over high heat until shimmering and nearly smoking.
  • Crack eggs into a bowl, then slide into the hot oil one at a time.
  • Baste the tops with hot oil using a spoon — edges should bubble and crisp.
  • Cook 90 seconds for a runny yolk. Remove with a slotted spoon.
  • In the same oil, fry garlic 30 seconds until golden.
  • Add chili, fish sauce, lime juice, and erythritol. Stir 20 seconds.
  • Spoon the sauce over the eggs and garnish with coriander and cucumber.
