Step 1
Unfold puff pastry on a cutting board and brush lightly with water. Sprinkle scallions, sesame seeds, and half the fried shallots across the surface.
Step 2
Roll pastry tightly into a log, then curl it into a spiral. Flatten gently with your palm until about 1/2-inch thick.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Slide the spiral into the pan and sear 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Step 4
Push pastry to the side of the skillet. Crack eggs into the empty space and cook until whites set but yolks still jiggle, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Lay halved youtiao pieces on top of the pastry. Drizzle soy sauce over everything and scatter remaining fried shallots.
Step 6
Serve hot straight from the skillet. Tear pieces and dip in extra soy sauce if desired.
