FRIED EGGS 2 WAYS: SWEET & SOUR AND GOLDEN COINS:
In this episode of Why it Works, Lucas Sin takes a road less travelled when it comes to eggs and showcases how to prepare eggs well cooked. He's preparing them two ways: Sweet & Sour Braised Fried Eggs and Golden Coin Eggs.
On Sweet & Sour Braised Fried Eggs: "“Overcooking eggs” beyond their gooey textures might feel like a sacrifice in flavor, but it is a great way to coax more flavor out of them. The added cooking time allows amino acids and sugars in the egg to undergo the Maillard reaction, amplifying the distinctive flavor of its caramelizing, brown bottom." - Lucas
On Golden Coin Eggs: ". . .a typical dish from the Southern Chinese province of Hunan, known for its bright, spicy dishes that pair immaculately with rice. The golden coins in questions are made from boiled eggs, sliced into medallions. The egg slices are coated lightly in starch before being fried to set their shape and give them a bit of color. Then, the dish is stir-fried with a generous amount of garlic, red, and green chiles." - Lucas

I appreciate that Lucas explains the purpose of each step, it makes a huge difference in learning the recipes because you can trouble shoot if something goes wrong and make adjustments.

@arthurboehm Ай бұрын

Although I'm constitutionally adverse to eggs cooked beyond the soft, runny stage (unless boiled), I might just give these a go. As always, Sin is a peerless teacher: knowledgeable of both recipe context and technique, super-articulate, personally winning.

Lucas knocks it out of the park again!. Never heard of either dish but will try them both. Not many Hunanese restaurants around here. I eat my fried eggs over-hard, with a crispy fringe and with ketchup when in a fried egg sandwich. (Mom loved runny yolks and snotty whites, yuk). The golden coin eggs are a simpler version of Pepin's Eggs Jeannette. For peeling hard boiled eggs, i proceed as Lucas described, but after chilling, I crack down a line from the fat end to the skinny end then roll the egg on a hard flat surface with gentle pressure to crack the entire shell and loosen it. Finally I pinch the fat end where there is usually a small pocket to get the peel started without damaging the white. Peeling under a small stream of cold water seems to help too. I can usually pull off all the shell in 2 or 3 large pieces. Works for eggs as fresh as I can find them and older eggs too. For cutting HB eggs, I discovered that a brie knife from F. Dick, works great and avoids sticking. The blade is dull with a thick, wedge cross section, 1/4" tall and 6" long.

@MrVovansim Ай бұрын

It's funny, when I was little, every day for breakfast my mom would make me two "eggs with eyes" which is basically just sunny side up eggs, in English. But I always asked her to make me "one-eye eggs", because I wanted one yolk whole and still runny, and the second one to be broken and fully set. Both are great in their own way.

Surprisingly, we have a similar dish to the first one in Thailand. It's called 'Kai Look Koei' or Son-in-law eggs. But instead of braising sunny side ups, we use fried boiled eggs with a similar sweet and sour sauce.

Crispy friend eggs can be cooked with sweet Adobo a.k.a. Chinese or Filipino sweet braised pork (which traditionally uses hard-boiled eggs). The crispy skirt absorbs the Adobo sauce very well. Also, just wanna suggest to use a thread or dedicated metal-wire tool to cut hard-boiled eggs cleanly.

It is very hard to do simple things well wit minimal movements(stylish). You are a wonderful teacher. Please show how your supervise your staff cleaning the work bench thoroughly ready for the next meal. Realty is sometimes everyone may skip out 2-3 days or more. Not cleaning well is sickening when one coming home very hungry. HELP MAAAAAA. One more thing. Cleaning properly well saves a lot of arguments. Rolling pin job or shooting sharp tongue or both..

Asian style crispy eggs are the best eggs, but sometimes the oil splatter with this cooking style is outta control, you gotta watch out if you're doing it at home (and keep kids WAAY away when cooking this way)

@thihal123 Ай бұрын

Indeed! That’s why it helps to cook this in a wok. The high sides of a wok reduces the amount of splatter

I have always had a term to describe what you call those crispy fried eggs, ruined. I grew up with fried egg gently cooked. Any brown was a miss and we would cut off and throw away that bit. I was shocked to see eggs in Mexico and Asia purposely done this way. 😆I do still prefer eggs unfrilly. I just learned to avoid ordering an egg on top in an Asian restaurant. The sweet and sour sauce does look good though. I would try that if I had a chance.
