Heat a generous amount of oil in a small pan and fry the eggs one at a time for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges are crisp and golden and the yolk is still soft.
- 2
Drain on kitchen paper and quarter each egg once cool enough to handle.
- 3
Toss the shallots, tomatoes and cucumber together in a bowl.
- 4
Mix the vegetarian fish sauce and lime juice and pour over the vegetables.
- 5
Add the crispy fried eggs and toss gently so the yolks break slightly into the dressing.
- 6
Scatter with sliced red chillies and fresh coriander and serve.
