Frying eggs for egg salad produces sizzling, buttery eggs with caramelized, crisp edges and golden centers that add irresistible aroma and texture. Runny yolks contribute a creamy richness that melds with vegetables and enhances flavor depth compared with hard-boiled eggs. Frying requires less time and eliminates shell handling; cracked eggs cook in minutes, roughly half the time of boiling. Fried-egg salads appear in Thai cuisine as yam khai dao, where eggs fried in hot oil develop crispy edges and are tossed with tomatoes, celery, onions, cilantro, scallions, peanuts, and a zesty dressing.
Fried eggs arrive at your salad bowl sizzling hot, buttery scent clinging everywhere, the edges caramelized to a crisp, and the center perfectly golden - irresistible qualities that captivate the taste buds before you even dig in. Each bite reveals a different nuance: a savory aroma here, a toasty warmth there, and if you keep the yolk runny, there's also a creaminess weaving through crisp, green veggies.
Additionally, frying eggs might just be a bit more convenient than boiling them. Two seconds of cracking the eggs open, followed by a few quick minutes in the pan, and they're done. It takes half the amount of time that boiling does, and you won't even need to spend any extra minute fiddling with the shells. Egg salads have never been more flavorful nor quicker to make.
