Ingredients- 3 fresh eggs
- 3 Tbsp fragrant perilla oil
- 1 stalk crisp green onion
- 1/2 Tbsp savory soup soy sauce
- A pinch of toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 1 stalk of fresh green onion. Wash it thoroughly and mince it very finely. Mincing it finely helps to bring out more flavor when stir-fried in oil.
Step 2
In a heated frying pan, generously drizzle 3 tablespoons of fragrant perilla oil. Perilla oil has a low smoke point, so it’s best to heat it gently over medium-low heat to release its aroma.
Step 3
Once the perilla oil is warm, add the minced green onions and stir-fry them until fragrant. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until you can smell the sweet aroma of the green onions. Be careful not to burn them, and sauté gently.
Step 4
Carefully crack 3 fresh eggs into the pan over the sautéed green onions. The key is to cook them sunny-side up with the yolk intact, just like Chef Baek Jong-won does! Cook over medium-low heat until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny and bright.
Step 5
Prepare a nice plate to serve the fried eggs. Lightly drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of savory soup soy sauce on the bottom of the plate. Then, carefully place the perfectly cooked perilla oil fried eggs on top. Finally, sprinkle a pinch of toasted sesame seeds over everything for a visually appealing and delicious perilla oil fried egg! It’s ready to serve.
Step 6
And there you have it – Chef Baek Jong-won’s ‘Perilla Oil Fried Egg,’ a savory side dish that’s a true rice thief! Each bite is a symphony of rich perilla oil flavor and the subtle fragrance of green onions. While delicious on its own, placing it over warm rice and mixing it with some seaweed flakes creates an unbelievably delicious meal. Experience a taste you won’t forget!
