Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully crack the eggs into the hot oil. Cook until the whites are set.
Cover the pan with a lid for about 30 seconds to steam the tops of the eggs, keeping the yolks runny.
Remove the cooked eggs from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the julienned ham and sauté for about a minute.
Add the garlic paste and ginger paste to the pan. Stir and cook with the ham until fragrant.
Toss in the chopped green onions and stir to combine.
Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce and the sweet garlic teriyaki sauce. Stir everything together and let it bubble for a moment.
Return the fried eggs to the skillet, placing them on top of the sauce.
Gently toss or spoon the sauce over the eggs to coat them completely.
To serve, place a bed of cooked rice on a plate. Top with a few of the teriyaki eggs and spoon the remaining ham, green onions, and sauce over the top.
Store leftover eggs and sauce separately in airtight containers for up to 2 days. Reheat eggs gently in a warm pan or microwave; reheat sauce in a small pan on low heat.
Yes. Mix the soy sauce, ginger paste, garlic paste, and teriyaki sauce in advance and store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in a small pan before drizzling over the cooked eggs.
Use deli-sliced ham or smoked ham. Julienne it thinly so it crisps slightly when cooked in the hot oil and integrates evenly with the eggs.
Cook eggs on medium heat until whites are set but yolks still jiggle slightly, then pour the warm teriyaki sauce directly over them. Avoid high heat, which will overcook the yolks.
Yes. Multiply all ingredients proportionally. Cook eggs in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan, then divide the warm teriyaki sauce equally among servings.
Only if you use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce instead of standard soy sauce, and confirm your teriyaki sauce is gluten-free.
