The Method

4 steps
  1. 1

    Pickle the veg first. Combine vinegar, sugar, and salt in a bowl, stir to dissolve. Add the carrot and daikon, toss, and leave for 10 minutes. They'll soften and brighten.

  2. 2

    Slit the rolls open and warm in a 180°C oven for 4 minutes until crisp on the outside, soft inside.

  3. 3

    Melt the butter in a frypan over medium-low. Crack in the eggs, fry sunny-side-up until the whites are set with a wobbly yolk.

  4. 4

    Smear the rolls with mayo. Drag the eggs through a teaspoon of soy sauce and lay two in each roll. Top with cucumber, drained pickle, coriander, and chilli. Press gently and eat immediately, holding tight.
