Ingredients

Ingredients (serves 4): - 300 g ground pork - 4 large eggs - 1 tbsp vegetable oil - 1 small onion, finely chopped - 1 clove garlic, minced - 1 tbsp soy sauce - 1 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste) - 1/2 tsp salt - 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional garnish) Prep: 10 minutes.

Method

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onion and cook 3–4 minutes until translucent. 2. Add garlic, cook 30 seconds. Crumble in pork and brown until no pink remains. 3. Stir in soy sauce, chili flakes and salt; cook 1–2 minutes. 4. Make four wells, crack an egg into each. Cover and cook 4–6 minutes for runny yolks or longer for firm yolks. 5. Remove from heat and sprinkle parsley. Serve hot.

Tips & Variations

Variations: swap pork for ground turkey or beef; add diced bell pepper or mushrooms with the onion. Tips: use a wide skillet so eggs fit without crowding; keep heat medium to avoid overbrowning the pork before adding eggs. Storage: refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days; reheat gently to avoid rubbery eggs.

FAQs

How many does this serve? This recipe yields about 4 servings (one egg per person with roughly 75 g pork each).
How can I adjust the spiciness? Reduce chili flakes to 1/4–1/2 tsp for mild heat, or add chili paste or fresh chilies for more punch.
Can I make this ahead or reheat leftovers? You can brown the pork and cool, then refrigerate up to 2 days; crack eggs and finish in the skillet just before serving. Reheat leftovers gently in a skillet or microwave.
