Heat a skillet over medium heat and pour in olive oil.
Step 3
Add the sliced onions to the hot oil and sauté until they start to turn translucent.
Step 4

Ingredients List
Important Notes
Always cook ground pork thoroughly to ensure food safety.
Prepare all ingredients beforehand (mise en place) to make the quick stir-frying process smooth and prevent burning.
Adjust the amount of hot red chilies to match your personal spice preference.
Fry the egg on relatively high heat to get those authentic crispy, brown edges while keeping the yolk beautifully runny.
