• As soon as you have added the chili crunch to the pan, immediately crack the eggs on over the top.If you wait too long to add the eggs, the chili oil aromatics will burn and will be like mace. If the chili crunch overheats and smokes, turn on your vent hood or fan for good ventilation. Or open up your windows.

  Prep tip: you can always crack the eggs ahead of time, each in their own individual bowl. It is a little more clean up, but less rushed when cooking and you don’t have to worry about stray egg shells getting into the pan.

• As eggs are cooking, spoon some of the hot chili crunch and oil that is in the pan over the eggs so the chili crunch can cook into the top.

• Fry the eggs until edges are crispy and center whites are set. If you want the eggs to set faster, cover with a lid when able to while cooking.

• Serve on toast, rice, noodles or whatever you like. We love it over avocado toast!
