I made a fried egg sandwich and so can you
My normal fried egg sandwich consists of egg, bread (duh to both), rooster, some ketchup and a few dashes of worcestershire sauce. As you know, I’m a saucy fellow.
Today I tried something different. The key, regardless of other decision, is a a well fried egg, complete with a lacy skirt and a somewhat cooked yolk. I normally hate well cooked eggs—concrete scrambled eggs and cardboard omelettes—but as a newcomer to the fried egg I need a ‘friendly’ version.
Instead of the usual array of sauces, I spread a generous coating of hoisin sauce on one layer of toast. Then quite a few thin crispy slices of shallot/green onion. It looked rather pretty, circles of green and white against resinous brownness. Then the egg on top, folded neatly to fit over the bread. As too much change is bad, I was obliged to serve with a squiggle of rooster on top of the egg. And lots of fresh black pepper.
It was delicious. A sort of fried rice sandwich, sans the rice! Well worth trying. I read this recipe somewhere, but can’t figure out where. You pretty much have to eat this with a steaming cup of Moccona.
