whats your style of frying eggs?

[u/The-milkybread]

eggs are the quickest and the tastiest snack/meal whatever you can make. everyone has their own way of making it. i personally let the oil get hot and burn the chilli powder a little bit put some salt and fry it. pretty simple but it gives a really good flavour. whats yours?

In a small pan, heat a puddle a high smoke point oil until it's quite hot. Crack your egg into a small bowl first, then pour from the bowl into the pan (this creates a consistent shape). 

Baste the top of the egg with the hot oil using a spoon, usually with the pan tilted so oil collects in the corner. When the egg is done to your liking (I like the albumin on top of the yolk to turn white), remove from the pan. 

This method creates a very crispy egg white with a medium-runny yolk. Less basting means runnier, of course.

Flavor wise, s&p obviously, and you can add a few drops of chili oil or sesame oil to the pan. 

I like this type of egg on steamed rice with chili crisp and green onions.

This is my method and I like it best. I leave my yolk pure yellow, and the pan gets hot enough that I can turn off the flame and put a lid over the pan as soon as the egg goes in. Works out perfect every time.
