Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Egg Slices
Begin by taking five perfectly boiled eggs and slicing them into thin, even rounds. For best results, use an egg slicer to achieve uniform thickness, or carefully use a sharp knife. Arrange the thin egg slices on a plate in a single layer.
2. Apply the Coating
Generously dust both sides of each egg slice with corn flour. Ensure complete coverage as this coating serves multiple purposes: it creates a protective layer that keeps the egg yolk intact during frying, helps with binding, and contributes to the crispy golden exterior.
3. Fry to Golden Perfection
Heat a little oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Gently place the coated egg slices in the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry until the bottom side turns a beautiful golden color, then carefully flip each slice using a spatula. Fry the other side until equally golden and crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel.
4. Create the Flavorful Sauce
In the same pan, add a little more oil if needed. Once heated, add the finely chopped garlic, ginger, green chilies, and onion. Sauté until the aromatics become fragrant and the onions turn translucent.
5. Build the Sauce Base
Add the dry seasonings: ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon red chili powder. Stir quickly to combine with the aromatics. Then incorporate the wet sauces: 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 2 teaspoons red chili sauce, and 2 teaspoons tomato ketchup. Mix well to create a homogeneous sauce.
6. Combine and Toss
Add the thinly sliced spring onion whites to the sauce, followed by the fried golden egg slices. Gently toss everything together, ensuring each egg slice gets beautifully coated with the savory-spicy sauce. Be careful during mixing to maintain the integrity of the egg slices.
7. Final Presentation
Transfer the sauced golden coin eggs to a serving platter. Garnish generously with freshly chopped spring onion greens. Serve immediately while hot and crispy for the best texture and flavor experience.
