    In Southeast Asia, we also love have a crispy sunny-side up egg.
    A bit of difference is, me and a lot of people love to have a half-medium cooked yolk.
    The yolk is not runny anymore, but still very soft, orange-y and yummy (not fully cooked or bright yellow).
    Since we usually eat together with rice, the softness of the yolk and crispiness of the white part is complemented beautifully with a warm, fluffy and delicious rice.

  • @perryallan3524
    @perryallan3524 24 дня назад +6

    My version uses a 6" cast iron fry pan with butter that 2 eggs fit in perfect; salt and pepper as desired. Put a lid on it to trap the heat for a minute, and slide them on the plate a minute or so later with nice uncooked yokes. No spatula. Wipe cast iron pan with paper towel, wipe cover lid. Put aside for the next use.
    I have not washed that cast iron fry pan since I got it in the early 1980's.
    Perfect eggs for me - and for any guests - with the best original non-stick pan out there.
    Some of my guests like me to add some shredded cheese and melt that on top of the egg. That takes perhaps another 15-30 seconds. Everything still slides out of the pan and clean up is the same.

      @wsams maybe. I lost 60 lbs last year. A big part of that was measuring every ingredient that went into my body. But I also only ate delicious food. So, I had to find minimum amounts of calorie dense foods that made significant taste differences. In my opinion, 5 to 10 grams is the sweet spot for butter on eggs. Of course, you can keep dumping it on food, but at greatly reduced taste benefits. It was probably less than 250c :), but still too much for one meal.

      @Daramgaria Год назад +9

      understandable but please consider that the butter is just a medium with which to evenly conduct heat, using the oil doesnt necessarily mean it will absorb into the egg especially if u take it out and put it on a sheet tray or something. it isnt absorbant the same way say, breading on a bit of fried food would be. all its doing is functionally evenly distributing the heat and wont really absorb into da egg ^_^

    • @jameshill2450

    You have to cover it with the lid or a plate for about sixty seconds so the steam poaches the top and you get some of the cooked white covering the yolk.

    Love you, Chef. Love a basted egg. But I just don’t like browning on my eggs. I don’t like “snotty” eggs either. Basted in butter is key. My egg making process is nearly identical. I just pull them off the pan about a minute and a half earlier where the white near the yolk is properly set but before browning starts to happen.

    interesting this style of fried eggs is what i grew up eating although i never liked the crispy edges, (I thought Mom over cooked them) as a grill cook for several years out of high school i never cooked them that way for customers or for myself, definitely need a few slices of Bacon to go along with the eggs and toast though!

    One other thing I like to do is use fork and skim the snotty layer that covers the yoke and put it directly on the pan. It whitens up and you don't have those couple of drops of snot capturing all the salt and pepper on the yoke.

    No offense and a matter of taste but the Jacques Pepin method is wonderful. Medium hot pan, put eggs in a bowl. Gently pour into pan. A few drops of water. Drop the heat to low. Cover pan. Let cook until a fine white sheen on the yolks. Remove and serve. Deliciously delicate and perfect yolk consistency. Again some like crispy whites but I am not in that camp. Cheers

    You can tell by sight when the butter is ready as well, basically when it starts foaming up and steam is coming off of it but it isn't burning. It will take some trial and error.

    I like to fry my eggs in a flat bottomed wok. Smoking hot oil and the egg is done after just a few spoonfuls of hot oil. Super crispy whites, perfectly runny yolk. Only downside for some might be that you don’t really see the yolks because the hot basting oil turns it a bit opaque. Taste and texture beat perfect looks though.

    The basics never disappoint, but I'm quite worried. Using a metal spoon to scoop the butter during basting on a non-stick pan though. I'm afraid that the teflon will be scraped a bit and will contaminating the food we're cooking. I personally will avoid using metal utensils on a non-stick pan.

    @katniss4670 Год назад +10

    The butter in that pan is not hot enough to properly fry an egg , it’s impossible to accomplish this with butter because it burns . Olive oil is the proper way, and lots of it . The egg should be basted with the hot oil and the whites should bubble up and inflate with golden crispy edges and underside . A bit of the hot oil over the yolk helps to cook and eliminate the “ snot “ factor while leaving only the yolk runny .

    I love eggs over medium with a runny yoke and a cooked white. I've learned to break the white "Sack" after the egg hits the pan. This causes the white to spread out making it much thinner than it normally would be so it also cooks faster. When the whites are opaque I flip them for about 20 seconds. Perfection! Whites are cooked and there's plenty of yoke to enjoy.

    Then as side 2 is cooking, I put 3 eggs on top of the hash. Letting it sit a minute I put salt/pepper or seasoning of sorts on top lightly, cover with a lid. I turn my toaster on and when it's done typically the egg whites are done and the top of the yoke is just starting to cloud over. Uncover, plate and serve.
