Ingredients
•
4 large fresh eggs
•
2 tablespoons white vinegar
•
4 cups vegetable oil
•
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
•
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
•
2 teaspoons salt
•
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
•
2 tablespoons chopped pickled red onions (for garnish)
•
2 tablespoons chopped green onions (for garnish)

Directions
1
Gather all ingredients.
2
Fill a saucepan with cold water and place over medium heat. Stir in vinegar and bring to a gentle, slow simmer. Working with one egg at a time, crack an egg into a ramekin or measuring cup for easier transfer.
3
Stir the water vigorously to create a whirlpool effect. As the whirlpool is turning, drop the egg into the center of the water. Continue to stir gently, cooking until the egg white turns opaque.
4
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the egg from the water and move to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. In a medium saucepan, heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
5
Meanwhile, set up a dredging station with 3 separate bowls. To the first bowl, add the flour. Beat 2 eggs with salt and pepper in a second bowl. Add breadcrumbs to the third bowl.
6
Carefully dip the cooled egg first into the flour, second into the egg mixture, and last into the breadcrumbs, coating egg on all sides at each station.
7
Using a slotted spoon, carefully drop the egg into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to overcook. Drain on a paper-towel lined plate.
8
Garnish with pickled red onions, green onions, and red pepper flakes. Serve immediately.
