- FRIED EGGS 2 WAYS: SWEET & SOUR AND GOLDEN COINS:
In this episode of Why it Works, Lucas Sin takes a road less travelled when it comes to eggs and showcases how to prepare eggs well cooked. He's preparing them two ways: Sweet & Sour Braised Fried Eggs and Golden Coin Eggs.
On Sweet & Sour Braised Fried Eggs: "“Overcooking eggs” beyond their gooey textures might feel like a sacrifice in flavor, but it is a great way to coax more flavor out of them. The added cooking time allows amino acids and sugars in the egg to undergo the Maillard reaction, amplifying the distinctive flavor of its caramelizing, brown bottom." - Lucas
On Golden Coin Eggs: ". . .a typical dish from the Southern Chinese province of Hunan, known for its bright, spicy dishes that pair immaculately with rice. The golden coins in questions are made from boiled eggs, sliced into medallions. The egg slices are coated lightly in starch before being fried to set their shape and give them a bit of color. Then, the dish is stir-fried with a generous amount of garlic, red, and green chiles." - Lucas

i would literally watch a video of lucas reading a dictionary. his approaching to cooking and teaching is second to none
My mom's favorite food was eggs. How I wish she were still here, as I know she'd love, love, love both of these recipes. _Miss you, Mom. I'd have made both of these for us, and we'd have had such a great time together._
Lucas Sin is such a great on-screen talent for anything culinary! Technique, history, diction, and camera presence make watching him work with food so satisfying.
I think we’re all patiently awaiting the Lucas Sin x @chinesecookingdemystified collab
First video I’ve seen with Lucas Sin. Will be looking up more. What an excellent teacher!
This is one of my favorites

Playlist with a bunch more. 😊
ruclips.net/p/PL61B3UzuBy7N9Io91MmmmB3aU7YHV361f&si=FvpJcgs5sdIGv87O
You're in for a treat.
I'm jealous you can watch the rest of his first time! He's awesome. You can feel his passion in every video - he also has lots outside of Food52 so don't stop there
@@johndoe09876 I'm so glad someone found my playlist! Lucas is AWESOME!! 👌🏻
The G.O.A.T is BACK!! 😎😎😎😎
Crispy fried eggs are the bestttt. Gonna make these two with rice for sure
Lucas knocks it out of the park again!. Never heard of either dish but will try them both. Not many Hunanese restaurants around here. I eat my fried eggs over-hard, with a crispy fringe and with ketchup when in a fried egg sandwich. (Mom loved runny yolks and snotty whites, yuk). The golden coin eggs are a simpler version of Pepin's Eggs Jeannette.
For peeling hard boiled eggs, i proceed as Lucas described, but after chilling, I crack down a line from the fat end to the skinny end then roll the egg on a hard flat surface with gentle pressure to crack the entire shell and loosen it. Finally I pinch the fat end where there is usually a small pocket to get the peel started without damaging the white. Peeling under a small stream of cold water seems to help too. I can usually pull off all the shell in 2 or 3 large pieces. Works for eggs as fresh as I can find them and older eggs too. For cutting HB eggs, I discovered that a brie knife from F. Dick, works great and avoids sticking. The blade is dull with a thick, wedge cross section, 1/4" tall and 6" long.
"This is what I stand for: Taking yourself too seriously when you do simple things that everyone else has been doing for a very long time"
or how to eat good on a budget
Lucas you’re the best ! I do not take these videos for granted ❤
My mind has been absolutely blown.
Fried & braised eggs are the best eggs! I love them with sambal rather than sw&sour, but either way, soooo good
The dishes look delicious, thank you for such a great video.
Babe, a new Lucas Sin video dropped 🎉
Both recipes look devine! I’d like to try them. I can eat a fried egg any way as long as the white is fully cooked. A boiled egg is my fave way to cook eggs.
Chef Lucas is back! The explanation of the dish is so so good simple way nothing fancy but still find new way to show us eggs lol
Although I'm constitutionally adverse to eggs cooked beyond the soft, runny stage (unless boiled), I might just give these a go. As always, Sin is a peerless teacher: knowledgeable of both recipe context and technique, super-articulate, personally winning.
Constitutionally adverse?!😂😂😭
🙄
What an incredible video! I loved learning two different ways to prepare fried eggs with Lucas Sin. The combination of sweet and sour, along with the golden coins, is simply genius. This episode of Food52's Why It Works is a real cooking lesson! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for the innovative ways of cooking eggs. I love it.
dude i love this guy
You have helped me understand how to prepare my everyday asian style dishes.
Every time Lucas said "longyao", my head shouted out Chinese Cooking Demystified's saying of the word ha ha ha.
All my life I’ve been making He Bao Dan (荷包蛋 ) without a sauce. This takes it to the next level. Thanks again Lucas 🙌🙌
Amazing video; brilliantly instructive Lucas! Love his videos; please keep them coming!
Sir, you are the reason I subscribe to this channel. I trust you will have your own venue before too long.
I've never seen anything like either of these dishes before. They both look delicious. I'll be giving them a go.
Yummmm. I am DEFINITELY trying Golden Coin eggs 🥚✨
I learn *so* much from any video with chef Lucas!
Thank you Lucas!! Fried eggs have beautiful unique flavor as delicious as anything else you’d brown for flavor. These recipes are a must try.
Lucas get out of my head lol I was thinking about sweet and sour eggs yesterday ❤❤❤❤
I'm making the fried egg coins now - thank you !❤😋
I am doing the braise for sure! Thanks.
i see lucas, i click. def wasnt aware of the gold coins but its a super cool concept
This is the most badass cooking vis I've seen in awhile. Wow
Yes, Lucas!
i made the gold coin eggs today. they banged so hard, kept going back for more. even the parts of egg that were just the boiled egg whites were very very good. i would recommend making these.
It's funny, when I was little, every day for breakfast my mom would make me two "eggs with eyes" which is basically just sunny side up eggs, in English. But I always asked her to make me "one-eye eggs", because I wanted one yolk whole and still runny, and the second one to be broken and fully set. Both are great in their own way.
My fav chef is here!
Nice!!! 👍🏽
Wow that Golden Coin dish is so interesting
Really cool video. Thank you for the recipes
I hate runny eggs so I'm 100% with you on these recipes.
Lucas my man always nice to see your videos.
Oh heck yeah, I love this idea of double cooking eggs.
We love your Lucas
Only reason I subscribed to channel ………LUCAS 🥳💞🤜🏼🤛🏼❣️
AMAZZZZZING👏🏻👍🏼🥂
Use that Canto Lucas.! 🎤🎤
13:55 was so cute lol
Wow😮
I would love to try this with chicken.
thank you for saying that you would tell us the best way to hard boil eggs and then actually giving us that method, as opposed to the countless videos that start it in cool water
A very important &useful recipe especially in this inflation period. 😂 Yummy & nutritious too
As much as I absolutely love this chef… my eyes are always fixated on the bear in the background. 😂
delicious
Great timing, given the recent avian flu outbreak.
Surprisingly, we have a similar dish to the first one in Thailand. It's called 'Kai Look Koei' or Son-in-law eggs. But instead of braising sunny side ups, we use fried boiled eggs with a similar sweet and sour sauce.
I’ll have try cooking this later in the week; looks delicious. Made the Golden Coin Eggs and it was delicious; can't wait to try the Braised Fried Eggs.
Even if you don't like eggs just watch for the wok technique alone is worth it
Lucas is definitely a good compliment to Food52. I’ll definitely watch him.
Lucas is really carrying this whole channel on his own!
I love how you cook and how you explain how you cook. Why do I have to chase you all around the internet? Please, get your own channel! I need to more content!
What dish does he use to plate the braised fried egg @ 7:05 -ish?
I’m shocked that Lucas is sharing a recipe that my grandma makes all the time!! This is real home cooked Chinese food
In Indonesia, my family used to cook first menu
Crispy friend eggs can be cooked with sweet Adobo a.k.a. Chinese or Filipino sweet braised pork (which traditionally uses hard-boiled eggs). The crispy skirt absorbs the Adobo sauce very well. Also, just wanna suggest to use a thread or dedicated metal-wire tool to cut hard-boiled eggs cleanly.
7:17 I was so scared he wasn't going to scrape the rest from the pan
I've been trying to figure this out (and CCD didn't reply when I asked) but what are the characters for longyau? It's not in the pleco app when I turn on Cantonese, either.
17 minutes for frying eggs two ways is impressive
Roll the chilled cracked shell for easy peeling.
8:35 I've always found steaming eggs to be the most reliable method for cooking eggs in the hardboiled style. ruclips.net/video/xUHKpHek2E8/видео.htmlsi=XeBHLXD_rRvrKwVq
I also like to use the 'love tap' to pop the membrane before cooking

The shanghainese version of the braised fried egg is similar, but a lot more simple: scallion, light soy, dark soy, a little sugar, and eggs.
"tldr; do this with your wok, things won't stick" LOL
Filipinos will call that fried egg a classier version of tokneneng.
An egg's biggest point of weakness is the air pocket, which usually ends up on the wide end of the shell.
It is very hard to do simple things well wit minimal movements(stylish). You are a wonderful teacher.
Please show how your supervise your staff cleaning the work bench thoroughly ready for the next meal.
Realty is sometimes everyone may skip out 2-3 days or more. Not cleaning well is sickening when one coming home very hungry. HELP MAAAAAA.
One more thing. Cleaning properly well saves a lot of arguments. Rolling pin job or shooting sharp tongue or both..

"...glaze that egg..."

Asian style crispy eggs are the best eggs, but sometimes the oil splatter with this cooking style is outta control, you gotta watch out if you're doing it at home (and keep kids WAAY away when cooking this way)
Indeed! That’s why it helps to cook this in a wok. The high sides of a wok reduces the amount of splatter
Shoutouts to CCD and their long yau "copypasta"
are the people in the background doing anything or just looking important?
I have always had a term to describe what you call those crispy fried eggs, ruined. I grew up with fried egg gently cooked. Any brown was a miss and we would cut off and throw away that bit. I was shocked to see eggs in Mexico and Asia purposely done this way. 😆I do still prefer eggs unfrilly. I just learned to avoid ordering an egg on top in an Asian restaurant. The sweet and sour sauce does look good though. I would try that if I had a chance.
am i the only one who thinks that the boiled eggs are just as delicious as they are, plain? why are we frying them? making a perfectly healthy food less healthy...
1:38 not only does smoking oil smell and taste bad but it's bad for you, too! inhaling the smoke leads to lung cancer and eating it leads to stomach and colon cancer. lovely recipe, Lucas!
There are 0.23 grams of sugar in an egg white. You cannot caramelize an egg white. You're thinking of other browning reactions, not caramelization.
