Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 45 eggs
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • pinch of MSG
  • pinch of black pepper

Toppings

  • 1 tbsp salsa macha or chili crisp + more for topping
  • scallions to taste, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Pan: Preheat a pan over high heat for 2 minutes to allow it to reach an even cooking temperature.
  2. Add Heavy Cream: Pour the heavy cream into the hot pan, then lower the heat to medium and let it simmer for about 1 minute to create a flavorful base for the eggs.
  3. Cook the Eggs: Add the eggs to the pan along with soy sauce, a pinch of MSG, and black pepper. Cover the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until the egg whites are set, ensuring a tender yolk.
  4. Add Toppings and Serve: Remove the cover and top the eggs with scallions and salsa macha or chili crisp. Add extra chili crisp if desired for more spice, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust the soy sauce to taste if you prefer a less salty flavor.
  • If you do not have salsa macha or chili crisp, substitute with your favorite chili oil or hot sauce.
  • Use fresh scallions for a burst of fresh flavor and color.
  • Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your stove and pan type.
  • For a vegan-friendly variation, substitute eggs with tofu and use a plant-based cream alternative.
