Egg Katsu

NYT Cooking viral crispy fried egg - soft-jammy boiled eggs encased in a crunchy panko crust and deep-fried until golden. A simple magic trick that has taken the internet by storm.

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Soy sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Carefully lower in eggs and cook exactly 6 minutes for jammy yolks. Transfer to an ice bath and peel gently when cool enough to handle.
  2. Set up a breading station: flour in one shallow dish, beaten egg in another, panko in a third. Season flour and panko with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat vegetable oil to 350F in a medium saucepan. Roll each peeled egg in flour, dip in beaten egg, then coat thoroughly in panko, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Carefully lower breaded eggs into hot oil and fry about 1 minute per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels, season with salt, and serve immediately with soy sauce.
