How to cook it
-
Heat the oil in a wok over medium high heat until shimmering, then fry the eggs one or two at a time, spooning hot oil over the tops, until the whites puff and turn crisp and brown at the edges while the yolks stay soft, about 2 minutes each.
-
Drain the eggs on paper, let them cool for a minute, then cut each into quarters.
-
Stir the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, minced garlic and sliced chilies together until the sugar dissolves.
-
Toss the thinly sliced onion, tomato wedges, celery cut into short lengths and the cilantro with the dressing.
-
Fold in the eggs gently and serve right away with rice as one of the shared dishes on the table.
