Ingredients

• 4 pieces Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 2 medium-sized, sliced thinly Shallots
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 large, sliced thinly (optional) Red chili
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 teaspoon Sweetener (erythritol or equivalent low-carb sweetener)
• 0.5 pieces, juiced Lime
• 2 stalks, thinly sliced Green onion
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into the pan individually to fry. Cook until the edges are crispy, whites are fully set, and yolks are cooked to your desired doneness (around 2-3 minutes for runny yolks or 4-5 minutes for firmer yolks). Transfer eggs to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pan, add the remaining coconut oil. Reduce heat to medium-low and sauté the sliced shallots, minced garlic, and chili (if using) until fragrant and golden brown, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, erythritol (or chosen sweetener), and lime juice until combined. Pour this mixture into the pan and stir gently to create a flavorful sauce. Let it cook for 1 minute.

Step 5

Return the fried eggs to the pan, spoon the sauce over them, and cook for another minute to warm through.

Step 6

Transfer the eggs to a serving plate, making sure to drizzle all the sauce over the top.

Step 7

Garnish with sliced green onions, a sprinkle of salt, and freshly cracked black pepper.

Step 8

Serve hot and enjoy your low-carb Telur Goreng with a side of sautéed spinach or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
