Instructions

Heat the flavored oil: In a small nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat, heat 1 tablespoon of chili crisp along with 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil until the mixture is shimmering. This creates a flavorful base to cook the eggs in.
Prep the pan and scallions: Swirl the pan or use the back of a spoon to evenly spread the chili crisp and oil mixture across the surface. Meanwhile, thinly slice 1 medium scallion for garnish.
Cook the eggs: Gently crack 2 large eggs into the pan without disturbing them. Season with a pinch of kosher salt. Cook the eggs undisturbed until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny, with the edges becoming crispy—this should take about 3 to 5 minutes. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Serve: Slide the cooked eggs onto a plate, toast, or a warm bowl of rice. Pour any remaining chili crisp oil from the pan over the eggs for added flavor.
Garnish and enjoy: Sprinkle the sliced scallions and furikake seasoning over the eggs as a finishing touch. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Cooking the eggs slowly over medium-low heat ensures the whites cook through while the yolks stay runny and edges crisp up nicely.
This recipe elevates simple fried eggs with the bold, spicy, and aromatic flavors of chili crisp and toasted sesame oil.
Optional serving suggestions include placing the eggs on toast or a warm bowl of rice to soak up the flavorful oils.
Furikake adds a nice umami and texture contrast but can be omitted if unavailable.
