The deep fried egg is an egg dish consisting of an egg that has been deep fried. Sometimes the dish is prepared only using the egg yolk, which is referred to as the deep fried egg yolk.[1] Various types of eggs can be used to prepare the deep fried egg, such as chicken, duck and quail eggs. The dish is sometimes served alone, and is also used as an ingredient for various dishes. The dish is sometimes prepared using pre-cooked eggs that are breaded and deep fried. Preparation of the dish can be potentially dangerous because the egg in the hot oil can cause the oil to splatter, which can catch fire on hot stove burners and also cause serious skin burns.

Overview

A typical deep fried egg preparation involves cracking eggs directly into a container of heated cooking oil and then continuously spooning the egg white around the yolk to keep the yolk covered.[2][3] Another method involves using two cooking spoons to continuously roll the egg in the oil after the egg white spooning process, which can assist in creating a consistent shape and coloration.[4] As the egg cooks, the egg white transforms into a crunchy, hardened crust that surrounds the egg yolk.[2] It is sometimes seasoned, such as with salt and pepper.[3]

The deep fried egg yolk is sometimes prepared using breading on the yolk, which is then deep fried.[1] When breaded, the surface of the dish is crunchy, and the interior is molten, soft and creamy.[1] It is sometimes served as an appetizer.[1]

The dish can also be prepared using pre-cooked eggs, such as poached or boiled eggs that are then deep fried.[5][6][7] Sometimes he pre-cooked eggs are then coated in breading before the deep frying.[8]

Uses

Deep fried eggs are served alone and also used as a topping for dishes, such as salads.[9] Deep fried eggs are an ingredient in the Indonesian dish balado tahu telor, which consists of deep fried eggs, deep fried tofu and chili peppers.[6]
