Instructions
Make the Thai Fried Eggs:
Make the 4 Thai Fried Eggs and use this recipe. Fry until the yolk is set.
Make the Thai Fried Eggs Spicy Salad Dressing:
Make the dressing by in a small bowl mixing up the 1 minced garlic clove, and 1-4 fresh Thai chilies, 3 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp chopped palm sugar or brown sugar, 2 tbsp fish sauce until the sugar is dissolved.
Mix it up and serve:
Cut the eggs into 4 pieces like in the shape of a triangle. I like to have the yolk in each part since it’s prettier, but no big deal if you don’t.
To a large bowl add the eggs pieces, 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion or white onion, 1/2 cup cilantro, stems and leaves coarsely chopped, 1/3 cup tomatoes, sliced into wedges, 1 celery stalk, very thinly sliced, and a handful of celery leaves.
Pour on the Thai Fried Eggs Spicy Salad Dressing and mix until all the eggs and veggies are coated in the dressing.
Enjoy with jasmine rice and dishes like Spicy Basil Thai Chicken or Thai Garlic Pepper Chicken!

Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Want more protein? Thai Hubby loves to add ground pork or steamed shrimp to his. But keep in mind, you might want to make more dressing if you do add in extra protein.
- Make the spice level to your taste, don’t be afraid to leave out the Thai chiles or add in more, really make the spice level to your preference.
- Serve immediately after tossing with the dressing for the best crisp texture.
