Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet for 1 minute to set the whites without overcooking the yolk.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?

Large eggs are the central ingredient here, providing both the signature texture and the bulk of the protein. The soy sauce is also essential for flavor, giving the dish its savory and slightly salty finish.

Q. How do you get crispy edges without overcooking the yolk?

Start by heating oil over medium-high heat to create a hot surface for the eggs. Cook the eggs undisturbed for crispy edges, then reduce the heat and cover the pan to gently set the whites while leaving the yolks runny. This heat control is key to preventing overcooking.

Q. What texture should I expect from this fried egg with soy sauce?

You should get a tender and creamy yolk encased by a white that's crisp around the edges and fully set in the center. The brief covering step ensures the whites cook through without making the yolk hard.

Q. How many calories and protein are in each serving?

Each serving (80g) contains about 130 kcal, with 8g of protein, 1g of carbs, and 10g of fat. Protein makes up roughly 25% of the calories, so it's a good option for a high-protein breakfast.
