To make the sauce, juice one lime and add in a bowl. Thinly slice garlic, shallot, scallion and thai chili. You can add red bell pepper for non-spicy version like me.
1 lime, ½ shallot, 1 garlic, 1 thai chili
Next, mix together lime juice, fish sauce, water and sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Now gently mix the garlic, shallot, scallion and thai chili in the sauce.
1 lime, 1 tablespoon water, 1½ tablespoon fish sauce, 2 teaspoons sugar
Heat pan to medium-high heat. Once the pan is heated (can see smoke), add oil. Crack eggs in a bowl and gently place in the pan. Cook the egg for 30 seconds and take a spoon and add the hot oil to the egg white to cook. Cook the egg for one minute maximum for runny eggs.
2-3 eggs, 2½ tablespoons vegetable oil
Serve fried eggs with the sauce made in step 1. Garnish with cilantro and eat with warm rice. Hope you enjoy!
1 bowl warm white rice, 3-4 sprigs cilantro
