Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the Fresh Ingredients: Wash your paprika and eggs thoroughly. If you prefer, you can remove the seeds and membranes from the paprika for a cleaner presentation.
Step 2
Slice the Paprika into Bite-Sized Pieces: Cut the paprika into rings or half-rings, about 1.2 cm thick. Adjust the size based on the paprika and the number of eggs you’re using. Employing a variety of paprika colors will result in a more vibrant and appetizing dish.
Step 3
Sauté the Paprika Rings: Heat about 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Place the sliced paprika rings in the pan and cook until the side facing down is lightly golden brown. This process enhances the natural sweetness and improves the texture of the paprika.
Step 4
Crack Eggs into Paprika and Season: Carefully flip the paprika rings. Gently crack one egg into each paprika ring, being careful not to break the yolk. As the egg white begins to set, sprinkle a pinch of MSG-based salt (or regular salt) evenly over the eggs. (Don’t worry if some egg white spills over the sides!)
Step 5
Neatly Tidy Up Spilled Egg White: If any egg white has overflowed the paprika rings, don’t panic. Use chopsticks or a thin spatula to gently guide the excess egg white back into the ring or push it towards the edge of the pan to create a neat shape. Think of it like carefully trimming the edges.
Step 6
Finish Cooking and Serve: Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the egg whites are fully set and the yolks reach your desired doneness – whether you prefer them runny (sunny-side up) or firm (over-hard). Finally, sprinkle a little dried parsley flakes over the top for a beautiful garnish. Your colorful and delicious Paprika and Egg Fry is ready to enjoy!
