Jammy Eggs With Scallion Drizzle And Crispy Garlic Recipe

Eggs with custardy yolks are the star of the show here, but they get an assist from a punchy condiment speckled with tingly Sichuan pepper and crispy garlic.

📝 Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1/8 teaspoon crushed Sichuan peppercorns
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 2 teaspoons fresh minced ginger
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh scallions
• 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons sesame oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Pinch black pepper

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Fill a large saucepan or pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
2. 2Once the water is boiling, carefully add the eggs, and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for 6 ½ minutes, stirring frequently (this will help keep the egg yolks in the center of the egg).
3. 3Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and thoroughly chill them.
4. 4Once chilled, peel the eggs (don’t cut the eggs in half until ready to serve them).
5. 5Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
6. 6Once the oil is hot, add the sliced garlic, and fry until it’s very lightly golden (the garlic will continue to darken once it’s removed from the skillet).
7. 7Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried garlic and set it aside to drain on paper towels.
8. 8Reduce the heat to low and add the Sichuan peppercorns, red pepper flakes, and minced ginger to the skillet.
9. 9Sauté for 2 minutes or until fragrant.
10. 10Transfer the fragrant oil and seasonings to a medium bowl and add the scallions, vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper.
11. 11Stir to combine the topping.
12. 12Slice the eggs in half and transfer them to a serving bowl, plate, or platter.
13. 13Spoon the topping over the eggs and top them with slices of fried garlic before serving.
