Steps
1
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok (or a shallow pan for frying) over medium-high heat until it gives off a few wisps of smoke.
2
Once the oil is hot, crack an egg into the middle of the wok.
3
Use a spatula to baste the hot oil over the egg. Do this for 1-2minutes or until the egg forms a crispy golden edge (or until the yolk is cooked to your preferred liking).
4
Remove the egg from the wok. Drain on a cooling rack or paper towel and serve.
