Chinese Soy Sauce Eggs

Chinese Soy Sauce Eggs and rice. So simple and so delicious. A common way to eat eggs in Asia for breakfast or lunch or sometimes dinner!

This only calls for 4 ingredients: eggs, oil, sesame oil and soy sauce. Pair it with white rice and your favourite veggies and you have yourself an easy delicious balanced meal.

I was even debating whether I should create a recipe for this, but I knew I would get questions along the way so you’re welcome lol. But in Asia, this is one of the ways we eat rice. We have it with a fried egg with soy sauce. The creaminess of the egg yolk along with the salty flavour of the soy sauce and the neutral taste of the rice is a tasty combination!

As complex as Asian recipes “seem” to be with the wide variety of sauces and flavours, we also can be SUPER SIMPLE. Like to the point of laziness or as we like to call it “efficient” lol. And that’s where these Soy Sauce Eggs originates from.

We also love adding soy sauce to almost everything - eggs, meat, rice, noodles - you name it and it's on there unless if it's a sweet or dessert!

This soy sauce egg recipe is a staple in my house and I hope it becomes your new favourite way of having some eggs!

For this recipe

You will need the following ingredients for this soy sauce and egg dish:

• 2 free-range eggs
• 1 tsp Avocado oil for cooking
• 1 tsp low-sodium soy sauce per two eggs
• ½ teaspoon sesame oil

How to make Soy Sauce Eggs

1. In a hot pan set over high heat, add avocado oil. Crack eggs in the center of your pan for that round shape. Once the eggs have developed their shape, lower heat to medium.
2. Fry eggs until they develop crispy brown edges for texture. Then drizzle sesame oil over top for extra flavour.
3. At this point, you can pour soy sauce over top as the eggs cook or transfer the eggs to your serving plate and then pour the soy sauce over top of the egg. Serve with rice and vegetables. Enjoy!

Tips on Making the Best Soy Sauce Eggs?

• Make those eggs crispy on the edges!  How? Heat your flat non-stick pan on high heat.  Then add oil and then crack your egg in the center to get that nice round shape
• The high heat allows for the egg to cook immediately as soon as it touches the surface instead of sliding down the pan creating a non-round shape
• Fry it until those edges are crispy brown.  The crispy texture with that soft middle and soy sauce is the key!
• After the eggs are cooked, transfer to your plate and when you’re ready to serve, then pour a little bit of soy sauce overtop. 
• I recommend using light low sodium soy sauce for this recipe
• I would not season your eggs, just fry them in oil and that’s it. If you season them, it’ll overpower the soy sauce or worse make your eggs too salty
• I also recommend purchasing free-range eggs. Happier hens produce healthier eggs!
