Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil (e.g., canola or vegetable oil)
- 2 pieces shallots, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 piece red chili, thinly sliced (optional, for spice)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted tomato puree
- 1 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1 teaspoon lime or calamansi juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or green onions (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Crack the eggs one at a time into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Fry the eggs until the edges are crispy, and the yolks are cooked to your liking (sunny-side up is traditional). Remove and set aside on a plate.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Reduce heat to medium-low and sauté the shallots, garlic, and red chili (if using) until fragrant and lightly golden, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the tomato puree, low sodium soy sauce, coconut sugar, and ground white pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5
Add lime or calamansi juice to the sauce and mix well. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed, keeping in mind the low sodium requirement.
Step 6
Return the fried eggs to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Step 7
Transfer the eggs to a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or green onions, if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately with steamed rice or as a topping for your favorite side dish.
