  • 3 tbsp lime juice ย 
  • 2 tbsp chopped palm sugar or brown sugar ย

Instructions

Make the Thai Fried Eggs:

Make theย 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 theย 1 minced garlic clove, and 1-4 fresh Thai chilies,ย 3 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp chopped palmย sugarย or brownย sugar, 2 tbsp fish sauceย 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 bowlย 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.ย 

Pour on theย Thai Fried Eggs Spicy Salad Dressingย and mix until all the eggs and veggies are coated in the dressing.

Enjoy with jasmine rice and dishes likeย Spicy Basil Thai Chickenย orย 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.ย 
  • Make the spice level to your taste,ย don’t be afraid to leave out the Thai chiles or add in more, really make the spice level to your preference.ย 
  • Serve immediatelyย after tossing with the dressing for the best crisp texture.
