Use the freshest eggs possible for the best poached egg results. Older eggs tend to spread more in the water. Maintain a consistent oil temperature for even frying and optimal crispiness. For a richer flavor, try using clarified butter or duck fat for frying. Experiment with different garnishes, such as a drizzle of sriracha mayo or a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare all ingredients (5 minutes).
02
StepIn a saucepan, bring water and vinegar to a gentle simmer over medium heat. The vinegar helps the egg whites coagulate (10 minutes).
03
StepCreate a gentle whirlpool in the simmering water. Crack one egg into a ramekin and carefully slide it into the center of the whirlpool. Repeat with the remaining eggs, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Poach for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny (5 minutes).
04
StepGently remove the poached eggs with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain and cool slightly (2 minutes).
05
StepIn a medium saucepan or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C) (10 minutes).
06
StepSet up a dredging station: In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs seasoned with salt and pepper, and panko breadcrumbs (5 minutes).
07
StepCarefully dredge each poached egg in flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat generously with panko breadcrumbs, ensuring full coverage (5 minutes).
08
StepUsing a slotted spoon, gently lower the breaded eggs into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcook, as the yolks should remain runny (3 minutes).
09
StepRemove the fried eggs with a slotted spoon and place them on a clean paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil (2 minutes).
10
StepGarnish with pickled red onions, green onions, and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of textures and flavors (2 minutes).
