Runny Fried Egg

A quick and foolproof one-pan curry chicken pasta topped with a crispy-edged, runny sunny-side-up egg. Perfect for beginners looking for a rich, flavorful meal.

Ingredients

• 150 g pasta noodles
• 200 g chicken thighs or breasts
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tsp cooking wine
• 1/4 tsp white pepper
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp cooking oil
• 1/2 onion
• 1 small carrot
• 2 blocks curry blocks or 2 tbsp curry paste
• 1.5 cups boiled water
• 1 egg
• to taste cilantro and chili flakes

Instructions

1. 1Fry the marinated chicken

   

   Heat a pan with oil, then add the marinated chicken pieces and fry them until both sides turn golden brown.

   Tip: Ensure the pan is properly heated before adding the chicken to get a nice golden crust.
2. 2Fry the chicken further

   

   Continue frying and tossing the chicken pieces in the pan until they turn golden brown on all sides.

   Tip: Toss frequently to ensure even cooking.
3. 3Toss and Fry Chicken

   

   Continue frying and tossing the chicken pieces in the pan until they turn golden brown on all sides.

   Tip: Toss frequently to ensure even cooking.
4. 4Add Pre-Soaked Pasta

   

   Add the pasta that has been soaked in water beforehand for 30 minutes directly into the pan with the cooked chicken and diced vegetables.

   Tip: Soaking pasta in advance helps it cook much faster in the pan with the sauce.
5. 5Add Curry Sauce

   

   Add curry sauce or curry blocks directly into the pan along with the other ingredients to build the rich flavor base.

   Tip: You can use either curry sauce or curry blocks depending on what you have available.
6. 6Pour Boiled Water

   

   Pour boiled water into the pan over the pasta, chicken, and curry ingredients to provide the liquid needed for simmering.

   Tip: Using hot or boiled water helps dissolve the curry blocks faster.
7. 7Cover and Simmer

   

   Cover the pan with a lid to trap the steam and allow the ingredients to simmer and cook evenly.

   Tip: Covering the pan helps the pasta absorb the flavors and soften quickly.
8. 8Reduce the Sauce

   

   Simmer the pasta on medium-high heat to reduce the liquid, making sure the pasta is fully coated with the rich sauce.

   Tip: Stir occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking as the sauce thickens.
9. 9Coat noodles in curry sauce

   

   Use chopsticks to lift and mix the noodles, ensuring they are thoroughly coated in the rich curry sauce.

   Tip: Mix gently so the noodles absorb the flavors evenly without breaking apart.
10. 10Fry a sunny-side-up egg

    

    Crack an egg directly into the pan, cover it, and fry until the edges are crispy while the yolk remains runny.

    Tip: Keep the heat medium-low when frying the egg to ensure the whites cook through while keeping the yolk liquid.
