• Fry the Eggs: Place a pan over medium heat, add 2-3 tablespoons of cooking oil. When the oil is hot, pour in the egg mixture and fry for about 5 minutes until both sides are cooked. Turn off the heat, transfer the eggs to a plate, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
• Make the Sauce: Add another tablespoon of cooking oil to the pan and turn the heat to high. Add 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of chili sauce, and 2 tablespoons of water to the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly, then lower the heat.
• Finish the Dish: Place the cut eggs back into the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes to let the eggs absorb the flavors. Finally, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper on top and turn off the heat.

Tips for Choosing Fresh Eggs

To make your fish sauce fried eggs even tastier, pay attention to selecting fresh eggs:

• Eggshell: Choose eggs with a matte white coating on the outside, feeling rough or heavy to the touch.
• Checking by Light: When held up to the light, a small air cell and a round, stable yolk indicate fresh eggs.
• Sound Test: Hold the egg to your ear and shake gently. If you hear a sound, it’s an old egg that has been stored for a long time.
