Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Distilled white vinegar
- 4 cups Water
- 3 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds
Directions
Step 1
Bring 4 cups of water to a gentle simmer in a medium saucepan. Add 2 tablespoons of distilled white vinegar to the water.
Step 2
Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin to ensure easy transfer into the simmering water.
Step 3
Using a spoon, create a gentle whirlpool in the water by stirring in a circular motion. Carefully slide one egg into the center of the whirlpool. Repeat for all 4 eggs, making sure they do not overcrowd the pan.
Step 4
Let the eggs poach for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Use a slotted spoon to gently remove the poached eggs, and place them on a paper towel to drain excess water.
Step 5
Meanwhile, prepare the oyster sauce mixture. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 0.5 teaspoons of sugar until smooth.
Step 6
Finely chop 2 stalks of green onions and set aside for garnish.
Step 7
To serve, plate 2 poached eggs per serving on toast, steamed rice, or directly on a plate. Drizzle the prepared oyster sauce mixture evenly over the eggs.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped green onions and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
