Plus lime juice, and water, and cornstarch. :)
I should say too, when you see how big it cooks up, it really doesn't seem like a lot of fish sauce.
Lol, right. I love me some fish sauce but that stuff is strong!
This looks great! I'm a big fan of fish sauce in eggs.
This sounds great. Thanks for sharing.
How necessary is the fish sauce and can it be subbed for something else? I'm not a fan but I do like the way the end result looks...
It's not, you can sub in soy sauce or some other sauce.
Yum ok thanks
It's often there to add savory taste, not to taste fishy. One teaspoon to two eggs will make the slurry smell and might have an actually fishy aftertaste after cooking - I like that, but in combination with stronger flavors like spring onion and chili.
You can easily do something like 1tsp : 4, or be even more careful. At that point it's just seasoning with bonus umami. Maybe add some extra salt if you're cutting it heavily.
Mushroom soy is a distant second.
You can substitute with soy sauce if you're a loser. Fish sauce is the spice of life tho
If your taste buds are different than mine, you're an inferior person to me
Finally, someone who gets it.
Looks amazing. Flavors definitely I like. But I'm gonna have to try this one. My first instinct is too much fried for me. I love a fried egg, but not too fried, lol. Definitely gonna give it a go though. Thanks for sharing!
It's so fast and easy. Just be sure to drain it on paper towels to get the oil out.
The outside will be crispy, the inside will be fluffy. It's super good!
