Origin

Sunny-side-up eggs are a traditional Thai home-style dish commonly found in Thai kitchens, particularly as a morning meal. This simple recipe can be prepared by any housewife in just a few minutes. Influenced by Western fast food, it has been adapted to suit Thai tastes—for example, using salt or white pepper instead of other seasonings.

Characteristics and Flavor

Sunny-side-up eggs have a firm outer shell and a soft, runny yolk. The flavor is well-balanced, slightly salty from the salt, sometimes enhanced with a touch of white pepper. The richness from the vegetable oil adds depth to the taste. It goes well with hot steamed rice or toast.

Ingredients

Chicken eggs, vegetable oil, salt, white pepper

Serving Method

Serve the sunny-side-up eggs hot on a plate of steamed rice, or place them on toasted bread. You can drizzle with seasoning sauce or add fresh vegetables to enhance the flavor.
