This recipe for chili oil fried eggs is so simple that you don’t even really need a recipe. You essentially cook your eggs in chili oil instead of regular cooking oil to get tastier, more flavorful eggs.
I love this over toast for a savory breakfast OR over rice with sliced avocado and furikake rice seasoning *chef’s kiss*. It’s so delicious and so simple, making it perfect for a quick meal.
